DeJuan Blair is playing for the Austin Spurs right now

[Dex]

While trying to find Lonnie stats for the Austin Spurs, I came across a familiar name on the roster.

Apparently, the Austin Spurs selected DeJuan Blair in the 2018 NBA G League Draft. He was picked in the :lmao 4th round :lmao at pick :lmao #107 :lmao

So far, he has played 8 games in Austin, averaging 13 minutes, 6 points and 4.5 rebounds on :lmao 37.2% shooting :lmao

How is the kneeless wonder still playing basketball? And how has this not been talked about?

I be slackin', I guess.

This is all news to me.

Pardon the stupid thread, and thanks to Blair for kicking Splitter and helping the Spurs earn their 5th ring!

[timtonymanu]

Wonder if he still has the Spurs games circled on his calendar

crofl Dejuan's kick to the head should have been on the 2014 highlight reel. Spurs easily go down 3-1 if it wasn't for that move

[therealtruth]

Original turd towers. He has Zion's weight but not his athleticism. Still Blair could have been pretty good. He used to kill the Thunder.

[playblair]

blair will be called up to the main roster eventually & when it happens i will weep tears of joy

That would be kinda cool. But I do't think he is under contract to the SA Spurs, and I don't see them dropping anybody to sign him. Maybe a 10-day when those go into effect.

[baseline bum]

Damn. Why doesn't he go play in China? Surely he'd make way more money there.

[JakeCuenca]

Hw sucks now even by chinese standards. To think at one point this nigga thought he was better than Kawhi

[JeffDuncan]

Damn. Why doesn't he go play in China? Surely he'd make way more money there.

He's been there, done that. Blair was a Monkey King.

[playblair]

Damn. Why doesn't he go play in China? Surely he'd make way more money there.

blair dominated china he had multiple 40 point 20 rebound games

[Lonnie Walker IV]

OP. :lmao

[BackHome]

Wonder if he is going to get into coaching?

[phxspurfan]

For those who don't check Austin Spurs or Blair threads, thanks for the :lol





Also yes, I'd bet he'd be huge in China.
















...and not vertically :lol

[Snaq O'Meal]

If PATFO wanted a big-bodied, multi-skilled high flyer, they would've signed Deonte Burton on a cheap contract. Too bad he's now playing for the Thunder. Perhaps RC Buffoon thinks he's a better talent evaluator than Sam Presti.

I wasn't a great fan of Blair, but I really appreciated the fact that he gave us what he had, being undersized and without knees. C'mon, give him a break. Former Spur still loves the game and if he wasn't on the Austin roster would be tearing up a YMCA amateur league. Go DeJuan!

I wonder if he still needs a few games to qualify for a pension. The Spurs have been very classy about taking on vets for that purpose, including Johnny Moore who couldn't perform for a full season due to a bout with Desert Fever he picked up in Phoenix. I forget the other guy they brought in for some similar reason (family member health insurance needs?) but he had no previous history with the Spurs if I remember right.

China don't want him. There's limits on # of overseas players (two) and the minutes they can collectively play.

[Spurtacular]

Blair is a terminally sick in a hospital bed's Charles Barkley.

[spursparker9]

Any picture of him now?

I worked with Johnny back when I was a teacher at Metzger. Stand up guy. Glad they did right by him.

[davidbowie]

Why do so many hate on Blair on this forum. Dude looks ripped now. And he always played with a lot of grit and pride. Something def lacking on the roster now. I’m happy for him. Never gave up on his dream.

players get their pensions with 3 years of service, Blair's already hit the threshold.

Still hoping, brother blair :bobo

[WallyTiger]

wheres brother playboban

[dg7md]

Bring him on, it can't be worse than what we have now.

[Truth4sale$]

He cant seem to crack the Austin rotation. I Dont think he makes the big leagues anytime soon.

[buttsR4rebounding]

No Whataburgers in China. He's just practicing with the Austin Spurs so he can throw a giant French Fry into a barrel for a year of free Whataburger.

[Dverde]

Pop will bring him up to make himself look good. Giving him a second chance after all the crap he said. I feel bad for Blair, dude is hanging on to his career by a fingernail and he has to smile and eat Spurs ass to stay in the league.

Just giving him a job so he can pay the Spurs back on that six year loan.

[SpurPadre]

Would you guys rather have Mr. Whataburger playing instead of Dante?

[Chucho]

I hope he makes it. He's instantly the best rebounder on the team if he makes it.

amazing shape..........the call up will be any day now........ playbonner15 PlayBoban thanks for showing support 4 blair

[superbigtime]

I admire Blair for sticking with it. No one has guts or will anymore these days. Looks pretty ferocious and I don't think dude has been hitting Whataburger much.

[SpurPadre]

Did he grow some ACLs, tbh?

[playblair]

Did he grow some ACLs, tbh?

he is still a dominant rebounder thats a skill u cant teach.............peep the board @ 1:00........spurs could use a blair type of rebounder with all the mid range misses from la&derozan

Too bad Pop hates him. Who knows, maybe he's matured since his last time in SA.

We owe him after he got suspended for Game 7 against the Mavs in '14, tbh.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Pop’s got enough control of the roster in Austin that if he actually hated Blair I doubt Dejuan would be on the roster.

[Phenomanul]

If he's put in this much work, he's worth a look

[Dverde]

Last two G-League games, he poured in 32 points on a limited 33 minutes. At least he is out there hustling in the time given to him.

We could use a high energy player at times but idk if he can play in the league anymore
