The later portions of the draft saw even more trades of picks and it seemed like every time Stern came to the podium he was announcing one. There’s a few guys that fell deep into the draft and some of them got lucky with the teams they landed with. Minnesota is still in disarray. That’s not changing anytime soon.

San Antonio Spurs – DeJuan Blair is the really lucky one here. Yeah, the Spurs drafted him. But he is going to benefit greatly from working with a coach like Gregg Popovich. The Richard Jefferson trade looks that much bigger with Blair sliding all the way into the second round for the Spurs. This guy isn’t going to be a great scorer but he is going to be aggressive. One thing we always see transfer from college into the pros is rebounding ability. Some guys just know how to get the ball. Blair is one of those guys.
