DeJuan Blair Presser, Photos and Mailbag

Q. What's your goal for next year.

A. I want to be named rookie of the year.

If he can be a major player on a top contender he's got a good shot at least of being named to the rookie first team. Even just seeing his face you can see he's taken off quite a bit of weight.

Pop is a sadist.

Thanks for the pics and videos

Have the Spurs signed this guy yet? If so, how much and how long?

dude looks skinny

I'm a lot more excited about this guy than I am jefferson. It's nice having a young Big Nasty on this team.

He looks like he has lost a lot of weight. Looks like a SF.

I mean, does he actually have that level of talent?

Probably not. Chances are he doesn't get the minutes to compete for ROY.

Even as a significant part of the rotation, his job would be to go out and rebound. ROY is pretty much reserved for whoever has the highest PPG average amongst rookies.

Just watched the video. Loved RC stepping in and answering the question about Blair's knees. He basically said: Look, this kid has been a winner at every stage of his career. All he's done is won games. He doesn't want it to be an issue, I don't want it to be an issue, Pop doesn't want it to be an issue. So would you kindly STFU about the damn knees already?


I might have paraphrased part of that :)

This season needs to start already...

Annnnnnnnnndd...

We have Blair's new nickname:

SPONGEBOB.

I like the kid. I hope he does well.

u talkn about matt boner right?

First off RC is one creepy ass mofo :lol. You can tell he's still bummed about falling so far down but that's understandable. I think he's landed in an excellent situation and he'll have plenty of opportunities to prove himself. Great vid :tu

do just I see this, or do they look like twins?

its a shame we dont have KT anymore. he would have been the perfect mentor. a tough, nasty, filthy dirty rebounding machine who is nearly as reliable as the sunset.
