The Big Slip

Dejuan Blair is the biggest steal of this year's NBA Draft, Donald Brown is the 2nd biggest, and Patrick Mills is the 3rd. But Dejuan, probably an end lottery caliber player, fell all the way to the mid 2nd round! Rebounds are so high valued in the NBA, I would've thought the whole ACL deal from high school, wouldn't have scared teams from picking him... Jamie Dixon, the University of Pittsburgh coach even went as far to call every team in the league, and explain to them that yes, although Dejuan has had two ACL surgeries, he didn't miss one, not a single practice, or game in his tenure at Pittsburgh. So what scared them? We may never know, but what I do know is that the San Antonio Spurs are shocked he fell so far to them, and will definitely be happy with someone who is a specialist, someone who will go get them the ball! Dejuan Blair is going to go get a paycheck, and he's going to go get the ball for the once again championship contending San Antonio Spurs.
