Drafted: 37
Dropping into the second round may end up a blessing in disguise for Blair. Not only will the Pitt All-American join a perennial contender in San Antonio, but he may be able to contribute right away. Blair averaged 16.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in three games and could prove to be a steal for the Spurs, who could use his toughness off the bench

Old news.

I'll take 8. He might have been the second best college player in the draft, but his size and lower athletic ability will make it harder for his game to transition into the NBA.

If he plays 20 minute per game, he'll be in the top 5 in rebounding rate in the league. That's his game, and it'll translate just fine.
