Anyone think Suns shouldve picked Dejaun Blair

[Never Fear 33 Is Here]

Word on the street is that he will play a maximum of 4 years

Why is that?

Because he has no cartilage/ACL's in his knees. So he apparently is only supposed to be able to last for 4 years max. However, I am not a doctor and that is only what I read.

Wow that's crazy. Is there any type of surgery that could repair that cause that's a shame for such a talented athlete

[JohnVancouver]

I've never read anything about lack of cartilage, just the ACL thin, and that he can play a loooooong time if he is diligent in exercising his other leg muscles to stand the strain and spread the workload around. I think it's monkey-see, monkey-do - word came out about it late, people shied off and then everyone else was afraid.
I hope he plays 20 years and makes the HOF. Really - the draft combine, the individual workouts for team after team and it really comes down to a guess where Kwame Brown or some other stiff goes high and some perennial all-star ends up halfway down the 2nd round.
Experts give me a sharp pain.

I still like Clark, he really hasn't had enough time to show his potential. Blair fell because he's got a lot of wear and tear on his knees. His career will probably be a short one.

Not at 15. If we could've moved up in the second round, though, definitely.

[MrVince]

No.

Nobody expected Blair to actually be this good because of his health issues but what's done is done and I think Clark is still good enough. I think we should have picked Clark either way.
