Did you see Blair's line last night? How in the hell did ANY team in the 2nd round pass on this guy? I understand taking the cautious approach in round 1 (although seriously, you'll throw millions at the Brian Scalabrines of the league but not take a chance at guaranteeing late first round money on Blair?) but why on earth would you pass in round 2?
As for Lawson I think his biggest downsides are that he's 5'11 and that he can't shoot the outside shot. He can work on the latter but how does he check a 6'3 PG like Derrick Rose? I didn't see the 2nd half of the game last night - how much of his damage came with Deron Williams in the game? 17 points against Deron Williams is one thing - its another against Ronnie Price. Regardless I think Lawson is certainly NBA ready - I don't know how much upside he has but he's certainly playing well so far this offseason and now in the first game. I'd be curious to see how he played if he was starting for Minnesota or Golden State.
