With the new CBA teams will have to fill out rosters with cheap rookies to try to stay under the cap.  Take a look at the Lakers.  They have kept all four of their second round picks from the last two years.  Ebanks, Goudlock, Morris, Caracter all made the roster.

Did anyone think that Ebanks would be an NBA starter?  Wes Matthews?

Now, both those guys are better athletes than Fair.  But CJ is only a Soph.  If he's a legit 6'7, 6'8 and continues to progress, work on his range... couldn't he be a defensive minded 3 at next level?  He rebounds well, has good feel, touch on his J, if he can play solid m2m, why can't he be a Barnes or Sefalosha or whatever?

Maybe he isn't quick/athletic enough.  And if ur telling me he's 6'5 and not the listed 6'8, then forget it.  But it's not gonna be about offense.  Those players, their job is to D up, crash boards, get loose balls and hit the occasional wide open J.  Every team needs those guys.

He'll be our starting 3 next year.  We'll see.  I still think he has an outside shot as a niche player.
