other than them both being 6'6," exactly what does Blair have in common with maxiell?
if you want to compare him to another undersized NBA big, compare him to paul millsapp.

How many young PFs (undersized in the case of Blair/Max) does a team need?
Don't forget Sharpe too, who won't be a SF, if he pans out, IMO. (Not saying Sharp is undersized, necessarily.)
how about some good ones?
And is Sharpe isn't a SF, then he won't pan out.
Blair is a guy that will be starting material in the NBA. Max is a backup.
Judging every big man by his height is stupidity. By that logic, we'd never draft charles barkley because we already have jason maxiell, and every big man under 6'8" is all the same.
That's quite a leap.
Comparing Blair to Barkley is equally as stupid, IMO.
Wow, if we can get a guaranteed starter in the middle of the draft, fucking pull the trigger. I'm shocked he may fall that far.
I know some (like Pharaoh) are very consistent in thinking "always take the best available player", but duplication is a real problem, IMO. Just as it was this year with Rip/Stuckey/AI.
I promise there are no sure starters at any other position.
I've liked Blair since he wrestled the ball from Thabeet...oh and Thabeets arm came with the ball and Thabeet basically went over Blairs back to the court.
We need toughness in the middle
Blair is not bigger, quicker, longer or more of a complete player than Max.. don't be fooled by the weak competition (ie not close to NBA talent)... just trade the goddamn pick... this draft sucks.
