First things, first. DeJuan Blair is Tweeting. Something to fill the void until his website is fully operational.
I honestly have no idea where Blair will go in the draft. I’m not sure the draftniks do either at this point. He could go to Indiana at #13 as it seemed last week or the Bulls at #16.
Other things suggest he could slide into the 20s, as the latest SI.com and Draft Express mock drafts have him doing. Which suggests that rumors, reports, potential misinformation and off-the-record things are implying a possible slide as teams just can’t pull the trigger with his knees.
But the rumors and reports keep things jumping (10:35 pm update).
-Sacramento has reportedly offered Detroit the #23 and #31 picks in exchange for the #15. The Kings may target DeJuan Blair at 15 if he’s available, while the Pistons like Toney Douglas and possibly DaJuan Summers.
-Does Atlanta unloading Acie Law for Jamal Crawford change their priorities in this draft? GM Rick Sund has supposedly told people that he will surely target a point guard, possibly Eric Maynor or Jeff Teague (assuming Lawson is gone at 13 or 17), but this might change things for him. Tyler Hansbrough and DeJuan Blair appear to be firmly in the mix here as well.
At least it won’t be a Chris Taft-esque shocking slide.
