DeJuan Blair: Malik Brand or is it Elton Rose?

If only he can play like Malik.

But I think he's better. Way better. This pick will go down in Spurs lore like Ginobili and Parker.

Every other team would be SO upset that anyone could have picked him at any given time!

:lmao that's hilarious...

Malik Rose was a badass.

This year, if Blair is as good as the '99 version of Malik Rose, I'll be pretty damn happy.

Was Rose that much better in 99 than 2003? I seem to only recall 2003 Rose well.

Yeah, I'd be shocked if he had Elton's post game, however, it is not stretch for him to be a much better rebounder than Elton.

Combine that with his face up jumper that is decent and will continue to prove, he could be much more useful than Elton.

Meaning, being that he'd be a role player and not a centerpiece, Blair could excel more at his role than Brand at his.

LJ was a much better offensive player. You are now comparing Blair to an all star.

Agree. Malik did not have the college success that Blair has had.

That's a great comparison!

Both Silas and Unseld never had leaping ability.
Nonetheless, they dominated the boards with wide bodies, tenacity and will.

I think Malik Rose was a bit more athletic than Blair.

Elton Brand has always been better skilled than most power forwards.


Blair has a tremendous potential to become a beast combining the strengths of these players.

He's got the nose for rebounding like Silas and Unseld.

He's got the guts and enthusiasm of Malik Rose.

He's got the body (especially wingspan) and the face of Elton Brand. :lol

:hat

Blair's build says LJ to me, but if we can just get a Bass/Millsap/Powe-type of player out of him, the heist is on! We don't expect LJ-type offense, but he should dominate the boards at times.

id like to c what he can do when hes not asked to score much and just concentrate on the glass

Luis Scola.

Blair is going to be sick when he bulks up like Dice.

Blair is probably already as bulky as Dice, naturally.
