your from Illinois as well, shame on you


I'm from Illinois and I can confidently say Arthur is a lotttt better than Julian Wright (I luv julian though, don't get me wrong). Darrell is just so much more skilled and smarter. I'd love to have either, but Darrell definetely before Julian.

For my Bulls, trade Tyrus, then draft Darrell to replace him. His back to the basket game and offensive and defensive awareness are outstanding.

Not sure where either player will be in 5 years but you think Arthur is better than Love right now?, that is pretty bazaar to me.


You must assess each player's ceiling and more importantly how much of what they do actually translates to the pro level....there in lies the love vs arthur debate imo

Arthur would be a great choice for the sixers. He is young enough and has the tools and potential to be a solid starter in the NBA. He probably doesn't have All-Star potential, but not many players do in the middle of the first round. He fits a huge need for the sixers at PF, where Reggie Evans and his granite hands currently reside. He should add some low post scoring to a team that desperately needs it. Although hopefully he won't take any advice from Dalembert, whose post up game would be comical if it wasn't so pathetic.

Well, I am talking about the NBA attributes that Love has, not who would be a better fit for a college team. There is no way I am giving Love the credit cause in the NBA he won't get the calls he gets, has to play MUCH more physical players and against taller players.

I don't see him being an allstar calibur pro, more in the class of a Chris Wilcox. I think he has a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses but with the benefit of a go to move perhaps making him a bit more effective as a consistent scorer.

I think that with his performance in the Championship game he needs a nickname. I'm thinking: Mr. BigTime

My boy Arthur came up big when it counted. I hope the Kings pick him at #12.
