Very cool! Ask him if he can turn sideways so his 7'2" wingspan will match up against the centers he'll be playing against, instead of being Lebron's height...lol

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

What up big bouy? You're a beast and I hope my Bulls trade up to draft you. What player(s) did you enjoy watching most growing up?

DeJuan Blair

I enjoyed watching Charles Barkley, Shaq, Jordan, and Hakeem Olajuwon.

---------------------------------------------

Tim (York,Pa)

The player i've heard you compared to is Jason Maxiell who played in the Big Easy at Cincy. What Current NBAer do you think your game is most like?
DeJuan Blair

I would say Jason Maxiell, Paul Millsap, Craig Smith and Big Baby Davis

----------------------------------------------

Randy (Gurnee, IL)

Dejuan, alot of people say the bulls might draft you, do you feel you can provide the offense downlow we have been lacking for years?
DeJuan Blair

I think I can. If they draft me, I will do anything they want me to do. If they need me to score, I will score. If they need me to rebound, I will rebound.
