If Blair doesn't get injured you guys got the steal of the draft. Blair Dominated Thabeet the second pick in the draft when they played eachother and he said he would go straight at him before the game.

I think it's going to be you guys vs the Lakers again. :D

I don't think he will start this season. I think he will need to play on the bench just to learn the NBA. When he does play/start, he should start at PF just because his strength is under the glass and getting rebounds which will take the physical game away from Duncan, which will benefit Duncan's health. I believe the Spurs were the perfect team for Blair, because of Duncan and how successful the franchise is. It should help him grow. And awesome for the local kid.


Thanks. I'm amazed he lasted to 37. Sounds like a real character as well, based on the stuff I've read about him.

He's a good kid. He grew up with a good family and realizes how lucky he is, coming from where he came from.

I know what you're thinking. We're in the middle of a city, what's a hawk doing there?

Looks a Larry Johnson type of player, similar build and playing style.
