No brainer now. Wizards are picking Arthur.

Either way. Hibbert makes sense to Indiana or Toronto. Now I'm guessing we take Arthur but will there be a trade involved?

Jason Smith and Herb Hill will kick his butt in practice, too.

No way he's ready defensively.

Bad situation for Speights going to the same team that screwed over Derrick Byars by drafting him where they didn't need him.

Good for Speights he's a first rounder.

I totally disagree with you. GREAT pick by Philly. They needed a big with some offensive skills -to go along with athleticism, and they got him.

I've been wrong before, Ruz.
His offensive game better be really good.

If we take Arthur I see us trading Blatche.

Wizards get a good talent in Arthur

I've seen him play alot as well..and I think he's underrated.

I've seen him play a lot, too.

And I'm pretty sure he's OVERrated.

Great college player. Improved a lot over 4 years. Clearly reaching his peak, and well, let's just say he's not the second coming of Shaq. Or even Oden. Or even Udonis Haslem. We'll be lucky if he's an effective backup in the NBA.

I'd much rather draft someone with more upside. And this is coming from a G-town alum.

I'd like Batum honestly. Or trading down and getting Hendrix.

My guess is Arthur or Ryan Anderson.

WOW!!!!

Imagine if they could get a FA at the SF position like Childress or J. Smith. Yikesssss

So we didn't get a backup center at 18? Sorry. Not a homer or Gtown fan. Want the best player available. Not thrilled with any of the picks at this point, which is why I would trade down to get Hickson, McGee or Jordan.

Well, this is the guy (Arthur) I've wanted all along....so I assume it'll be someone else

bobcatsinfour · Post #635 » by **bobcatsinfour** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 1:11 am

I am praying that you guys take Koufos because as a Cavaliers hater, it would disappoint me to see them take a hometown guy that could take over for Ilgauskas. C'mon Grunfeld, throw a wrench in their plan!

His name will be Darryl Arthur.

I'm not feeling Arthur at all and really hope that I'm just not on top of the draft anymore. I hope I'm wrong if he's the pick.

I want to trade this pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's gonna be Arthur, McGee, or Koufas......I don't want either!!....I guess if the three, I'd prefer Arthur......YUK!!

Probably Darryl Arthur, I'm totally underwhelmed. Oh-well, safe pick.
