Blair to BEAST this year?

I know it;s too early to tell, but two games in, and boy, Blair has been looking like a man on a mission. Showing a wide variety of new moves, a jump shot and a total overall aggression attacking the basket. I have a feeling Blair could quite easily slip in the top 3 scorers on the team, possibly surpassing TD? What do you guys think? I feel Blair wil avg about 13/10 this year.

He's looked outstanding so far. He looks like a completely diferent player on offense and he's playing much better defense.

13/10 sounds about right to me.

I hope Blair does have a good season and ends up having a great career. I read a few weeks ago that his body fat is around 5% now.

He's not as well rounded on offense as Timmy, not even at this late stage in his career. Getting a few buckets in a meaningless preseason game won't convince me otherwise.

Definitely have a few expectation on him and I just hope he will be, same goes to Timmy, healthy all season.

If Preseason shows anything, Blair is looking for his shot this year. I hope he stays focused on the boards. He averaged 6 boards in 18 minutes last year. I'm expecting him to atleast be on the 11 boards per 36 minutes rate.

I read somewhere he was working on his mid-range jumper in the offseason. Looks like the hard work is paying off so far.

After watching Blair this preseason, I'm 100% certain Splitter will not end up being the starting Center by season end.

I'm really disappointed with Richard Jefferson. I was expecting a somewhat different RJ. As the 4th most accomplished scorer on the team and still in his prime, I'm really hoping to see a more assertive RJ especially once it comes to scoring. I can understand him deferring when he's on the floor with the big 3, but he's deferring even if he's the best scorer on the floor. When it comes to scoring ability, RJ is still better than Hill and Blair. But if he's not assertive and ask for the ball, he'll never get enough shot attempts. I really doubt RJ exceeds his averages of last year. I just don't see it if this preseason is a sign.
