Great fit..at least until Tim retires.

 

[brendanmaguire]

Finally. Jay had him at 14

 

[japanair21]

These MFers just got Blair AND RJeff

 

[jayjunkie]

Duncan + Blair

 

[rocdamike11]

Houston has supposedly traded for the rights to Jermaine Taylor who was selected by the Wizards at #32.

Nice selection for the Spurs at #37 for Blair.

 

[outkast9984]

saw this coming... good pick by the spurs

 

[MVP]

Of course the Spurs would get him...

 

[kmstivers21]

Can someone please pick Derrick Brown from Xavier... Sleeper...

 

[shuges]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice pick by SAS.

I'm a big fan of Blair's.

A lot of these guys should be going higher...ah well.

I agree. Most of the GM's around the league get suckered into the allure of an overseas enigma.

Drafting to find the next Dirk, Manu, Barbosa, etc...is not as easy as GM's would like it to be. Might as well go with what you know and have seen...Thatis, those that played college ball.

You need it to keep your knee stable. At the combine it wasn't like his ACLs were damaged. They were nonexistent

I was joking dummies.

Great pick by the Spurs. Damn, could they find someone that fits there system any better?

 

[JD617]

Stu needs to shut the $*%% up with all this random %@*%. I don't know how much more I can take.

Congrats to Brockman. Glad he is staying in the Northwest

 

[nnarum]

Man if Rubio decides to stay in Europe, I hope we DON'T trade him... Let this little whiner suffer. If he didn't get to go where he wanted, too bad.It's a draft.

 

[outkast9984]

lawson on the nuggets....not bad

 

[al3xis]

Blair = Malik Rose

"Brockman just throws his body around and competes" -Jay Bilas

translation: Unathletic white guy

Please Detroit get Derrick Brown.

 

[raptors29]

I think DeJuan Blair is gonna be a pretty good player. He fits the Spurs system.

 

[brendanmaguire]

Jon Brockman reppin UW.

B-Roy probably wanted him.
