WOW

Man i cant wati to see Dejuan in the summer league. This guy was suppose to be a lottory pick. DUe to injury though he dropped to 37. I think we found our starting center maybe.

He’s going to frustrate a lot of big men in the NBA when they can’t go through or around him.
He’s 6’ 7". Not really a center.

Well we coudl start duncan at center and Dejuan at the pf. Then again theres still free agency. Either away i think Dejuan is going to be suiting up for the spurs this upcoming season.

R.C. & Pop's Amazing Week Continues...
Blair owned the #2 pick in the draft with an old fashion Thabeet Down!!! last year in the Big East. We got deeper cheaper tonight.
Of course he is. But Hedo was perfect for the Magic. You don’t blow up a team with that much chemistry that just made the NBA Finals – you add quality players to it.
Straight from the No-Stat Zone to your computer!

overall I think we did well. Although I am concerned about Blair’s knees, or lack thereof, I think he is a great adition.
He’s a mid second rounder, not a franchise player. I don’t care about his knees that much.

Blair...
…reminds me of a bigger (heavier) and better Malik Rose, but MUCH better offensively. Since the Rose deal, we have been missing a banging 4 with long arms. I think he can guard 5s also (using those freakishly long arms to push them away from the hoop). Malik did that well also.
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." – Aldous Huxley
Yes, he is shorter than the ideal, but he played exclusively in the paint in college, often against taller (but not bigger) guys. And he totally owned Thabeet in the Big East.
The funny part is that in a few years (when Blair is the new Millsap / David Lee / Brandon Bass), Pop and RC will get huge props for another 2nd round steal. He fell into their laps. Those guys would have been crucified on the Riverwalk if they had not taken him at 37.

That’s a good comparison too. But I think he’s “niftier” around the basket than Maxiell. Nice moves and touch for a big.

Looking at the post production of the players on our list, Blair’s productivity was impossible to ignore. He posted the highest FG% (59%) and the highest PPP (1.12) of any player on our list in back to the basket situations. Standing 6’7, Blair displayed incredible strength in overcoming his height disadvantage, on a nightly basis. However, he would be well served to improve his jumper to help compensate for the issues he’s bound to run into trying to score against bigger and more athletic players in the NBA on a nightly basis, which could be tough given that his .2 jump shots per game rank last in our sample. He also isn’t a great finisher around the rim on non-post up situations, ranking 4th worst in that category.

Ok, so I’ve watched a lot of highlights of Blair, do you want to know what impresses me the most? His hands. The man controls boards and gets up nice shots. I think he might have great hands. When you are slightly undersized, great hands will make a HUGE difference.

The man just knows how to rebound, which is not a skill that can always be taught. Not only does he have great hands, but he seems to have a natural instinct for positioning for rebounds and putbacks.

He’s been with the Toros a couple years. He was out hurt all last year. He got elbowed in the arm and it tore his bicep. Crazy shit. Anyway, I knew he was somebody with some talent that the Toros had been sitting on for a while.
I talked to him tonight, got his story on the injury, and he said he was going to be in Vegas. I don’t think he’s a serious contender for a roster spot with the Spurs this year, but I think he is somebody they are developing.

Chad Ford
Nando De Colo, G, France
De Colo was the big surprise at the camp. NBA scouts have been following him for a couple of years, and a number of NBA execs reported that he looked good in the group workouts in Minnesota last week. But he was borderline spectacular at the Eurocamp.
He torched Mills’ team on Day 1, leading his team to a 20-point blowout. And his production (13 points, 4 assists, 4 steals) didn’t tell the whole story — his floor vision, pacing and defense dictated the course of the whole game.
De Colo kept it up in a second game Saturday and two more Sunday. He looked like the best pure point guard in the camp.
Scouts love his size and swagger, and he really shot the lights out during camp, making 65 percent from the field. While those who watched him in France all year worry he lacks the lateral quickness to defend the quicker guards in the NBA, he seemed to hold his own against Mills and, to a lesser extent, Beverley. De Colo was the other guy who looked like he could be a legit late-first-round prospect, with a few caveats. First, the word in the camp was that De Colo might have jumped the gun and signed a pro contract in Europe, which could keep him out of the league for a few years. Second, several GMs wanted to go back and take a closer look at his game film from this year. De Colo was up and down all year, and they want to get a better look at how his season went.
But overall, no one helped his stock more than De Colo. He went from a borderline second-round prospect to getting some legit buzz in the late-first to early-second rounds.

You know what impresses me most about De Colo? His passing. He has the ability to see guys.

Amazing the Spurs picked someone in the second round who might actually play more than garbage time next season. This has been a great week. I hope the Spurs follow this up with a solid pickup for the MLE.
"The evolution has been good, and I am much more tranquil now in the face of what comes next,"--Manu Ginobili
I just watched Buford video and had to come back to say McClinton probably won’t be a Toro. Buford talks about him playing off the ball with Hill or Tony. Hearing how enthused he is about McClinton’s shooting has me a lot more optimistic about him. He also says he is an excellent defender which I’m willing to take his word on. I recommend watching it.
