Man looks like Kupchak pulled another 2nd round gem from the draft. Just like Marc Gasol,Ronny Turiaf,etc...
This guy is a spitting image of Ariza in every way,but a better outside shooter than Ariza. He is really athletic,a very long defender who finds ways to get steals into passing lane. Love This Guy. Number 1 in Summer League Rankings. Think he can contribute especially because Luke Walton's back is a ticking time bomb
Well, I guess every teams fans obsess over 2 rounders who will never do in the NBA.
lol dejuan "Barkley" blair
I was only teasing - don't take it to heart.
In all honesty though, do you really think it's reasonable making statements like that after seeing the kid play in 2 Summer League games? He does look promising and admittedly, I would probably think of making similar statements if he were with the Spurs - but the realist in me would prevent myself from doing so. Let's give him some time and see how he plays when the real games begin.
Blair hasnt done much because hes only been in the NBA for 1 year. Since his rookie season he made an all-rookie team and had 2 20-20 games. Not sure comparing our excitement for Blair is the same as your excitement for Banks after 1 summer league game.. theres no way to know how good or bad Blair is going to be.
Regardless, G-Hill was like 2-23 through his first 4 or 5 summerleague games. Donte Green scored like 48 pts. Summer league isnt the best indicator of successful career.
is there a link or video? .. kinda curious
Dont have a direct link but www.nba.com will have summerleague stats and highlights videos.
Found it.. Thanks!
Case in point.
lol delusional spur fan.
"It took no more than four minutes of the Spurs' first Las Vegas Summer League game a year ago before rival coaches understood they had found another gem in the late stages of the 2009 draft. Watching DeJuan Blair grab rebound after rebound on both ends of the floor - nine in those first four minutes - then-Hornets coach Byron Scott scowled, turned to a bystander and shook his head.
"I'll be damned if those (bleep) Spurs haven't done it again," Scott said.

Devin Ebanks was a great value pick for the Lakers, no doubt. He shot horribly from outside in college, so it's a little early to project that this will continue. But the early signs are definitely encouraging.
I like Ebanks and Caracter both look like steals for 2nd rounders ...
But Phil mayt not play them and the summer league compe ion sucks ...
Ebanks looks like Ariza a lot on the court ...
according to Phil, rookies are lower than whale . Exact quote.
He looked solid. Might help out the Lakers in the future. After all IMHO anything is an upgrade over Luke Walton.
Lakers still owe that 16 million over three years ....no one is gonna take that contract.
I've been saying Ebanks is a lot like Ariza for awhile, you guys got a steal if he ever figures his confidence issues out. The West Virginia games I saw this year he looked scared to shoot at times.
Yeah and he's also a way better rebounder than Ariza.
Oh wow. If Ebanks keeps hitting like this, just shut down the NBA and cancel everything. All the teams should just forfeit now! The NBA is pretty much ed and the Lakers are guaranteed a 30 peat!!!!!!
lol the Lakers have G$ on their team. Put up the bomb statline of 0 points, 3 fouls and 4 TOs in 16 minutes.
I like ur style, holmes. You ever break down in LA, IE, or OC, you give me a call. I tow u for cheap, give u laker fan discount and a free taco.
You're in the towing business now Cully? Go figure...
Ebanks had a rough game today, which happens to the best of them. I'm still confident that he can be a solid player and perhaps turn out to be a steal, but this game may be evidence that he needs some more time to adjust before being able to contribute in the NBA (especially with a Championship team).
Mid-2010. I love it.
