you needed you own ing thread for this?
any1 know why he fell so much? And what are the odds we take him? he's got good wingspan...and is a tough guy.

lol OWNED.you needed you own ing thread for this?
heh, i was hoping we'd be able to get him...iirc he has something like a 7foot wingspan or something lol...
well hes now on the spurs. we dont need another malik rose!!!
PWNED much?you needed you own ing thread for this?
two ACL surgeries
He's 6'7" and 277 lbs. Need I say more. I thought the Spurs wanted someone who could matchup with Gasol and Odom (assuming he's coming back) in addition to Bynum.
6'7" isn't going to cut it, no matter how long the wingspan, not against guys who are 6'10"-7ft, who also have long arms.
You really expect to draft a guy like that at pick 37 of the draft?
Really?
Typical. Spurs fan es when lottery talent, and the best collegiate rebounder of the last 10 years falls in our lap.
He fell just enough.........
Yea, my thoughts exactly. This guy could be a steal...stop ing.
Matching up against Gasol isn't something most NBA first rounders do well...let alone the 37 pick. It's a crapshoot down here. But this guy was supposed to go 13 on some mocks...he could be a valuable pickup.

This was a very good pick. Great gamble.
Complaining about a lottery talent in the second round is lame. If he had ACLs, he would have been long gone.
You take the risk that his knees hold up for just three or four years. He probably won't be able to last 8 or 10 years but who cares if you are the Spurs?

Gasol and Odom would give Blair trouble, yes. They both have perimeter jumpshots. Bynum on the other hand, is going to have the same issues Shaq had with Malik Rose. Blair's center of gravity is lower, and Blair may well be stronger (same weight, but shorter - more muscle, less bone). As a result, Blair will win the battle for Post position a lot of the time...
Some people are so ungrateful. He's a great talent. FIRST ROUND TALENT!
i think 6'7"s perfect depending on where you want him, good for a SF. like a bonzi wells kinda box you out rebounder, being big bodied. and bonzi's 6'5'' 210, another bigger SF, ime udoka, 6'5" 220... blair's a solid 6'7" 265. and to be a 15 pt 12 reb guymaybe get those udoka small ball minutes at the 4

why are we ing we got a good solid pick at 37!
we did get a big.
put simply, people in' need STFU. There's really no gamble taken on a second round pick, especially one like this.
We could have drafted Blake Griffin at #37 and people would be complaining.
Spurs fans bytch about everything it seems. Some are never happy.
I bet some even found a way to bytch about getting Jefferson.
