DeJuan Blair

What happened to him? Is he injured? Is he in the doghouse?

he's the size of a shooting guard on a team highly criticized for its lack of size. plus Boris Diaw is about 248482548025 times better.

Paul Millsap starts. Blair has a similar skillset and should be a regular rotation guy at least.

Paul Millsap plays much bigger than Blair
Blair is nice as a rotation player in the regular season, but in the playoffs hes too much of a defensive liability

Damn, you're good at this. I suggest you replace coach Pop when he retires.

He just isn't needed when Duncan/Diaw/Splitter/Bonner are taking the bulk if the minutes. He has a place on the team but the depth chart is too loaded right now. For the most part his skillset is nowhere near as good at Millsap- DB is borderline awful at times. Besides, we don't want Bynum getting 30 boards again....

Part of the reason we're doing so well is because he's been put into his correct role, the 5th big, and his starter minutes were given to a much better player than him in Diaw. Blair is probably the worst defensive player in the NBA. His rebounding has fallen off a cliff. And who knows how much longer he's got on those knees. He's regressed each year after his rookie season

this season he got a bit better at scoring but worse at rebounding. we don't really need another inside scorer so he got moved to the bench for diaw, who passes, defends, and shoots better.

I really hope the rest of the league overrates Blair like yall do. Maybe we can get something more than a 2nd rounder out of him

Pop got him out of the starting lineup when we were blown out by the Lakers and we have had a 17 game winning streak and kinda got out of the rotation. He is a good player in my opinion, but right now he doesn't have a niche. I think he will get some PT if the Spurs face the Thunder. He has had several good games vs them over the years.
