DeJuan Lamont Blair (born April 22, 1989[1]) is an American former professional basketball player. He played seven seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played for the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Washington Wizards.
He graduated from Pittsburgh University.[1] He was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs with the 37th overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft.[2]
