Draft Prospect: Dexter Pittman

[ChuckD]

His hand size, from the combine measurements, is just ridiculous. He's the only one I saw who had double digit inches size in both span and length. I think if he were in condition, he'd be a lottery pick. It's amazing to me that after all the time he spent at UT, he's still SO fat and SO out of condition.

If we didn't have Blair already I'd consider getting this guy, but one fat bas is enough.

I tend to agree with you, but if he's still there at 49, could you really pass him up?

I definitely like him as an option in the 2nd... but I just don't know.

Am I the only one that doesn't find it impressive that a 400 pounder lost 100lbs playing basketball over the course of an entire college career at an elite university? The guy still has over 20% body fat... I'm not impressed w/ his work ethic. 4 years, you could take the fattest man in the world and put him below 20%.

I do like his skills tho... Somebody that tall and that skilled, you have to take a look. If he's willing to REALLY put in some REAL work, he could be a problem in the future.

Quite easily. I could see a guy like Pablo Aguilar replacing Bonner at 49.

If Blair will be packaged in a trade then he can be the perfect replacement. I'd be happy if the Spurs draft him.

[Ocotillo]

If Blair goes to summer league this year, it would be interesting to see these two on the floor together.

Blair is so much better than this dude imo.

I'm probably as big a Longhorn follower as anyone on the board, and I've love for Dex to make it on the Spurs. But I can't see any way for that to happen. As noted much earlier in this discussion, almost every part of his game is subpar, and that's after a tremendous amount of work. The only thing he really has in his favor is the size/strength package, and an overall lack of skill and endurance can't begin to make up for that. It will take a near miracle for him to be a serious factor in the NBA.
