    Now this doesn't make any sense to me unless we're sending him in a package deal. PF was the last postion we needed to fill!

    Potential lottery picks
    Darrell Arthur, Kansas, 15.82; Marreese Speights, Florida, 15.02

    Players in the 15s are solid pros more often than stars, but these guys still should be useful pieces worthy of a high-to-mid first-round pick.

    I can't tell you why Kansas played him only 24.7 minutes per game, but the numbers say Arthur is the third-best big guy in this draft. There are concerns that he might be a tweener, but he was a good college scorer who blocked shots.

    Hmmm.... What if we get rid of Scola? Wouldn't he have more value than any other PF?

    D. Arthur is a 20 YO sophomore and Batum is a 18-19 YO pro. What is the big difference between the two?

    Landry > Arthur. Hopefully there's more to this. Maybe we get Rudy Fernandez?
