For instance, he'd be a nice fit on Cleveland. But they chose a guy who won't be in the league for 3-5 years. Makes no fucking sense when you need to win this year. Although Cleveland is a bad example as they are one of the dumbest franchises in the league.

Oh, I agree. I think he'd be a great fit for a team like San Antonio. However, I think a lot of GMs would rather look like dumbasses drafting a young guy with a lot of upside that busts than draft a guy like Blair, though.
