Getting guys like Monta Ellis, Jose Calderon and Samuel Dalembert have done wonders for this rejuvenated Mavs team. But, there’s been one addition that’s stuck out even beyond those three: Backup big man DeJuan Blair.
Believe it or not, Blair has the third-highest PER on the team next to Dirk Nowitzki and Ellis. That’s impressive, considering he’s coming off the bench. Many people questioned what kind of player he was, and could be, but this year with the Mavs he’s proving he can indeed be an efficient one after all.
The area where Blair is doing some damage, and is a big reason why the Mavs are putting up so many points, is on the offensive boards. Blair has averaged 7.0 rebounds per game in just 20 minutes, and 3.1 of those are on the offensive end. What’s so shocking about that figure is that it’s good for first on the team, higher than both Nowitzki and Shawn Marion combined. Again, he’s not even a starter.
