Just wondering what happened to him? I thought he was a borderline lottery pick? Or was I mistaken. Still he's falling towards the end of the 1st round, maybe even more. What happened?
There's reports about him having bad knees, so that could be scaring people off. I just wish the Bulls would have taken him with one of their picks. I like both Gibson and Johnson, but he would have filled a need for them, giving them that banger down low who can absolutely dominate the glass.
Finally goes to the Spurs. So this is the 2nd time in the last few years a Pitt player was projected as a lottery pick that has fallen to the 2nd round. The other guy? Chris Taft.
Well what I heard is that in some medical reports you couldn't even find his ACL. He'll be a solid rotation guy if he can stay healthy.
lol Hines Ward has no ACLs either. I came home and was surprised to see Blair fall that far. Oh well, he'll succeed in the NBA.
If he manages to keep healthy, Spurs got the biggest steal in the draft. They got smart picks with the Eddie House clone and that French PG, and together with the Jefferson trade, the Spurs are shaping up to be the next number 2 in the west. But, problem is, as usual, health. If they can avoid getting Duncan or Manu injured at the same time, they are gonna be the 2 seed. Pending any decline by the big 3.
Bump.... sitting here watching the Mavs-Spurs playoff game. Blair giving the Spurs some big time minutes. Props to a lot of people with the good call in this thread.
