Yeah I know. Doesn't it say something though that he was taken 7 years ago and is just playing now?

Agreed. I not arguing his value, just the point of comparison. It's valid in the context of "rookie vs rookie".

Nice one.

It says that the Atlanta Hawks were holding his rights hostage while he wanted to come over. He could have been a contributing NBA player a while ago.

I admittedly don't know enough about his situation but good players usually get some kind of offers. I'll put it this way. If a guy like Blair was overseas and his rights were owned by team a, and teams b-z didn't think highly enough of him to offer anything good, how good could Blair possibly be? Then again maybe the Hawks were asking a king's ransom. I honestly don't know.

Blair is good and is the steal of the draft. He needs more playing time.

The hype is totally out of hand. The Mavs picked up a player with roughly the same numbers.

Neither one is going to be an NBA starter so who cares?

Rodrigue Beaubois on the other hand is going to be a big time player.
