Why was Blair benched?

[davethedope]

I missed that. Someone remind me why. Injury?

I would like to go back to March and ask this question.

[davethedope]

So he was just benched and got no run? I mean
he couldn't have at least been used to foul Zbo 6 times?

[suitedkings]

He got benched cause he realized Tiago was better 86 games into the season.

Probably because he's a 6'6'' PF who would have zero chance of guarding Z-Bo and Gasol.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair is very young but he needs to play smarter. I think he'll get there with time

I hope he keeps working to develop a good jumper. With Dice out he'll get consistent minutes next season

This. Cept he's 6'7

[bigfan]

Too short, too inexperienced, too fat.

[DirkDoesWork]

This. Cept he's 6'7
I don't believe he's 6'8''. Sir Charles was always listed at 6'6'' but he himself has admitted that he's no more than 6'4''.

Team still got over with him on defense, but his strongest suit on offense is putbacks on the weakside and rolling to the basket off of screens and he missed every other chip shot he had which put more pressure on the other big on the floor to cleanup the mess he was supposed to clean up. Dude HAS to develop a legitimate jumper and be more patient on offense imo. Should be the main thing he works on in the offseason.

[DesignatedT]

Because we were getting absolutely destroyed inside and Blair is 6'5...................... with shoes

[outmap]

Too short, can't defend ZBo.

[scottspurs]

Too short. Time to him while he still has any value.

[alchemist]

same height as RJ, wider and was getting abused constantly. He seriously needs to get a jumper going, the kid has that hunger in him but he cannot play around the rim.

That's kind of like the weight listed on player pages on NBA.com and such websites.

You can take 20 lbs off each player to get an accurate weight.

I have no idea why they always inflate players weight.

I would assume it's to make them more intimidating, if that even matters to the players. Who knows. Over-inflation of weight and height has probably been going on forever.

Listed at 6'7 on Spurs.com. Doesn't matter he's still too small to guard Memphis' bigs.
