    I'm trying to think of NBA players that compare with Blair's style of play. Blair is Blair, no question, but he does remind me of a mix of what Malik Rose brought to the court in his prime; Elton Brand with his nose for the ball, and Anthony Mason with his power game.

    I dusted this off from Spurstalk's own Mistilynn to remind us of what we Spurs' fans have been missing prior to drafting Blair.

    Let's see. Prior to Blair, I'm trying to think of who "every undersized PF" we've compared to Malik Rose would be. Maybe Noel Felix? That's one...or maybe somebody thought Jackie did...

    Man, I miss Malik...

    I was hoping we could bring him back for a retirement tour of SA at some point, but who knew we'd be too deep/talented to do so?

    He plays like the hungry Malik, the one that played in SA BEFORE the big contract.
    He kind of looks like Elton Brand. Has long arms and a wide base like EB. Not like Anthony Mason. DeJuan is less skilled. Mason, at times, was employed as a Point Forward.

    If he plays like say...Otis Thorpe, then we have a dominant O Board Rebounder.

    Malik was a great player for a couple of years. He really played a huge role for us, if Blair can have a few more good years for us the way Rose did I will call his career a resounding success.

    Blair's ceiling has got to be higher than Malik's though. He seems to be a fundamentally better player than Rose. If he can keep his knees in order the dude could be a solid starter for his entire career. Rose was a one of our best 6th men ever, but he was never a great starter.

    Rose played solid basketball for the Spurs, I hope Blair is as good if not better. If that is the case then we made a of a pickup.

    Wes Unseld. Wes had to guard the likes of Jabbar, Chamberlin, Lanier, Cowens, Reed, Bellamy. In fact in those days it seemed every team had a bad ass center.

    If only he can play like Malik.

    But I think he's better. Way better. This pick will go down in Spurs lore like Ginobili and Parker.

    Every other team would be SO upset that anyone could have picked him at any given time!
