DeJuan Blair fell alot..

[mathbzh]

I don't care about his size. With a 8'10.5 reach he is long enough.

Of course there are concerns about his conditioning, his knees... but grab a talent like that with the 37th pick is amazing.

The comment about Blair not being able to defend on Gasol is rather stupid.
Gasol is one of these efficient players who will do their things regardless of who he matches up with. In 4 playoffs series he has been incredibly consistent despite the different kind of players he had to deal with.
How can you expect a 37th pick to deal with Gasol?

How do people for get what's in bold? Yeah, he's 6,7 (and tough as nails no less.) , but this guy can reach over the rim standing upright!

he's the ing 37th pick!!!..

to be honest, I wasn't expecting us to draft ANYBODY that would make the rotation this year..I wouldn't have really cared if the front office didn't do anything tonight..the RJ trade and getting a good starting big man would be enough for me..

getting a guy that can contribute as a good role player with the 37th pick is better than anybody could have expected..if he's a bust, it doesn't change anything at all for the Spurs..

Blair just basically gave the Spurs back the draft pick they gave up for Kurt Thomas. Not a bad night's work.

So, at the end, it's Tragic for Hairston + Blair + $500K.

Sweet deal.

If he had ACLs, he would have been long gone.

Can anyone tell me if He has ACLs? Or are his ACLs just injured?

Reconstructed. This was back in high school.

You can't play basketball on a torn ACL... you will hyperextend your knee every time you jump. He has 2 surgically repaired knees, and he can play basketball just fine. He's been doing so for 2 years now, and will continue doing so

[Obstructed_View]

They said something about the body absorbing the scar tissue and taking the ACLs with it. Hines Ward has the same condition, and he seems to do okay.

[SonOfAGun]

As long as he isn't a pussy in the paint what is to about? The dude could be 5'11 and still put more effort in the paint than your average Spurs big man!

The man has bionic knees and still busts his ass on the court every game achieving great success? That's the guy I want on my team.
