Blair was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the second round with 37th overall pick. His stock fell because of questions surrounding his durability and knee surgeries. Blair signed with the Spurs within weeks of the draft on July 17

On January 13, 2010, Blair became the first rookie in Spurs history to record a 20--20 (at least 20 of any two statistical categories) since Tim Duncan, when he finished with 28 points and 21 rebounds (10 offensive rebounds) in a 109--108 overtime win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was also the first time in 29 years that a rookie who was not drafted in the first round of the draft recorded a 20&ndash20.[14] Blair recorded his second 20--20 of the season in the Spurs' final regular season game when he recorded 27 points and 23 rebounds against the Dallas Mavericks.

Blair also participated in the Rookie Challenge wherein he showed a strong performance 22 points, and 23 rebounds, becoming the first player to have a 20--20 game in a Rookie Challenge and setting a Rookie Challenge record for rebounds. He won the Rookie Challenge MVP when Tyreke Evans shared it with him.

Blair was named to the 2009--10 T-Mobile NBA All-Rookie Second Team.

Look at 1:55 when Kevin Martin thought about stepping in to stop his dunk but then came to his senses and ran out the way JAJAJJAA

[EWCMILK]

@hemelekkoff Kevin Martin is a good player but he's a big pussy this guy was scared of a fuckin bat

[hemelekkoff]

@EWCMILK maybe but Bats are associated with a few diseases that affect people, such as rabies and histoplasmosis.

[dohakang1]

the man with more offensive rebound than defensive rebound.

Absolute beast.

As much as I have respect for Chuck Hayes. Dejuan Blair is a much bigger threat. For a 6'7 center, while his defensive abilities are impressive, he's also able to score pretty high for a man playing such a big position, he can out rebound some monsters. He's pretty quick, so he'd be able to have an interesting 1 on 1 game against Kendrick Perkins, another pure center. Perkins doesn't have that quick footwork like Blair does, but it would be an interesting challenge, nonetheless.

[RubinKazan2010]

I would like to see him one on one in low post matches against Kendrick Perkins. That would be an awesome match up (assuming he's healthy and non-injured). Defensively Perkins might be preferable , but offensively Blair would be more of a threat, of the two excellent defensive centers.

[RubinKazan2010]

If the San Antonio Spurs can get this guy a backup center like a 6'11 guy that is tough enough to take 15 minutes off Blair. They can save Blair from POSSIBLY getting into foul trouble when they face the likes of the Lakers who have two 7'1 (IMHO they look 7'2) giants that are a pain in the ass to tolerate or guard in a playoff series. Blair handled them quite well in the regular season, even dropping 18 pts in one game's night. We'll see what happens in the playoffs, best of luck to him.

[RubinKazan2010]

I still can't believe people wrote this guy off after he displayed his immense talent during the sophomore year at Pittsburgh. The excuse was: "he's too short to play power forward or center" and that "he may be injury prone". Look at the Spurs, they drafted this beast, and IMMEDIATELY gave him the position of starting center. Then that idiot Thabeet gets drafted on the sole basis of height, and he doesn't even have athletic talent nor a functional quality of a basketball player.

look at 0:37...Ginobili practices telekinesis...
