 as of lately dejuan blair averages 4.125 offensive rebs per games and 2.75 defensive rebs per game, with 11.625 pts per game this season, not bad for a 6’7 center, he can sure rebound, for his size, he uses his massive body well,

what would be his cieling? has he already reach it?

If you look at his Per 36 min, he statistically would be averaging about 16 and 9.  I could see him becoming a 17/10 player if he becomes a full-time starter.  Rebounding could well be above 10 with the subtraction of Duncan.  Possibly 17/11, but that is if he reaches his full potential IMO.

this is probably close to his ceiling , how much better can you get than 4 offensive rebounds a game!!  San Antonio is the best franchise for picking in the draft… by

his knees will blow out if he played a full nba season at 36 mpg.

His knees are a huge concern.  As a starting 4 or third big gettign 25 minutes a night, he could have a long productive career.  More than that and you might get a peak 20-10 year or 2, but he’d be out of the league a la Roy soon after.

[M-DYMESParticipant]

His knees are not much of a concern at all.  He doesn’t have his ACLs anymore.  No more damage can be done to those ligaments. 

[M-DYMESParticipant]

He has no meniscus problems at this point.  How you gonna compare it to Roy’s situation.  Blair been playing without ACLs for years.  At PITT he was playing plenty of minutes, no issues.
