NBA Preview Dont Sleep on DaJuan Blair

Though its just the first preseason game, and way too early to render a verdict on DaJaun Blair, he might very well turn out to be an all-time draft steal at #37. This dude destroyed Hasheem Thabeet twice last year, and just about everyone else who crossed his path. The concerns about his height, lack of ACLs, and potential for eating himself out of the league just distracted from what was so obvious heading into the draft: The dude is a monster on the block and the boards. If he's good enough for the Spurs and Pops to warrant a roster spot, Blair sure as hell should have been worth my Wizards giving him a chance to the make their squad. They only got out-rebounded last night 60-45 by the lowly Grizzlies.
