Assuming the numbers are correct, the move seems like a steal for the Wizards, who will now boast a big man rotation of Marcin Gortat, Nene, Kevin Seraphin, and Blair.
At 6-foot-7, Blair is an undersized center, but he possesses a solid rebounding game and a frame that allows him to go up against almost any center in the league.
The Pittsburgh product averaged 6.4 points and 4.7 rebounds over 15.6 minutes per game last season, while posting a true shooting percentage of 55.7 percent and an impressive player efficiency rating of 17.3.
