Arthur must of had some bad workouts.

I think we will pick a pg with one of our second rounders. Which pg do people want to see us pick or hope to fall to us in the second round.

We could have traded down to late 20s and still got Arthur :x

If he's just a relatively average defensive player, though? - blah... search continues


Supposedly, Jason was the Defensive Player of the Year for his conference. So, that tells me that he is a well rounded player.

Mike Taylor is intriguing. Kyle Weaver would be interesting as well if he's still available.

I really, really like Weaver... I'd love to see us pick him because of his versatility, athleticism, defense, toughness... can improve his shot, though

Man, I would be one happy boy if the Spurs got to take Arthur - even if over Batum...

I think Batum is probably the #1 guy right now for them

Because the Kings could have worked something out to trade for the pick and get Arthur still?
