| Pittsburgh | 6'7" | 250 | PF | Soph. | Blair is a skilled, enthusiastic big man that is a supreme rebounder. ...Named Co-MVP of the Big East for 2008-09 (along with Hasheem Thabeet). ...Sports Illustrated First Team All-American. ...Crazy wingspan makes Blair play much bigger than his 6'7" height. …Not a great shooter. Does convert when he gets deep position. …Passes out of a double team relatively well. Nimble. Len Elmore calls him a 'dancing bear' - which is a BIG with good footwork. In my opinion - he is the best player in college basketball. ...Watch the tape of Blair vs.Thabeet earlier this year for proof of Blair's ability. The stats for that game: Thabeet: five points, four rebounds, two blocks and five fouls in 23 minutes. And for Blair: 22 points and 23 rebounds in 38 minutes. ...Blair struggles at the free throw line (62% career), and does have more turnovers than assists. ...If in foul trouble - Pitt's chances of winning decrease. ...There are concerns about Blair's knees that will likely cause him to slip in the draft. He underwent two knee surgeries in high school. |
