Darrell Arthur? 

Post#1 » by ZedgetRedd » Thu Apr 15, 2010 11:11 pm

Hey Grizz fans, I am just wondering what your opinion of Arthur is, can he be an effective player moving forward, or is he some end of the bench stiff? Just wondering...

Hasn't been healthy enough (this season) to figure that out yet. Last year he was over matched and depended upon too heavily. This season he tore a muscle in training camp and never really rounded into shape. I think is ceiling is as a "Drew Gooden" light type of player. 10/5 rotation guy - but definitely not a starter.

Right now, He's a serviceable bench player. He might be a fringe starter in a few years.

He's got good athleticism, solid size, a dependable mid-range jump shot and is a decent rebounder. He'll have to improve his basketball IQ and defense moving forward.

Do you think he is good enough to be your back-up PF behind Randolph, to not draft a PF in the draft (Davis, Patterson, Motiejunas..)?
