that's hilarious...
Malik Rose was a badass.
This year, if Blair is as good as the '99 version of Malik Rose, I'll be pretty damn happy.
Was Rose that much better in 99 than 2003? I seem to only recall 2003 Rose well.
Yeah, I'd be shocked if he had Elton's post game, however, it is not stretch for him to be a much better rebounder than Elton.
Combine that with his face up jumper that is decent and will continue to prove, he could be much more useful than Elton.
Meaning, being that he'd be a role player and not a centerpiece, Blair could excel more at his role than Brand at his.
That would be the !
A heist I tell you.

LJ was a much better offensive player. You are now comparing Blair to an all star.
First Team All-Americans are like a box 'o chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Agree. Malik did not have the college success that Blair has had.
That's a great comparison!
Both Silas and Unseld never had leaping ability.
Nonetheless, they dominated the boards with wide bodies, tenacity and will.
I think Malik Rose was a bit more athletic than Blair.
Elton Brand has always been better skilled than most power forwards.
Blair has a tremendous potential to become a beast combining the strengths of these players.
He's got the nose for rebounding like Silas and Unseld.
He's got the guts and enthusiasm of Malik Rose.
He's got the body (especially wingspan) and the face of Elton Brand.

Relentless on the boards, wide body, knack for the ball.
Blair's build says LJ to me, but if we can just get a Bass/Millsap/Powe-type of player out of him, the heist is on! We don't expect LJ-type offense, but he should dominate the boards at times.
id like to c what he can do when hes not asked to score much and just concentrate on the glass
Luis Scola.
Blair is going to be sick when he bulks up like Dice.
Blair is probably already as bulky as Dice, naturally.
traylor didn't have near the collegiate success that blair has had. he relied on just being bigger than most of his opponents at that level.
in the big east, blair had to deal with guys who were bigger than he was, and still had success.
True.
I really hope Blair from Game 1 demonstrates all he seems capable of.
I would say a Malik Rose on Steroids! Rose was undersized, but even with his limitations would play his ass off. Blair has the wingspan of a 747, has fire, intensity and skills. Can't wait to hear reports from the summer league.
