How did Pitt make the Final four?
How did Wages of Win rate Blair higher than Blake Griffin the year each was drafted?
How did Blair win a junior gold medal?
How did he start for the Spurs as a rookie?
Yeah, Blair was a TERRIFIC college player, and would have been a much higher draft pick if he'd an ACL in either knee. Teams were concerned about the potential for knee problems, which...never developed with him. And, Blair was a good NBA player for his first three seasons, and about average his next two seasons. It wasn't until he got to the Wizards that he somehow became awful.
He's not awful.
Role he's asked is not for him.
He's still the same player he was before.
