Aruthur has canceled the rest of his workouts after working out with the Sacramento Kings...
"If Sacramento selects Darrell Arthur at #12 like many NBA sources we spoke with anticipate (sacramento was his last workout stop before cancelling numerous workouts)"http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jonathan-Givony/
Some interesting stats and info i found with... Draft Rater: Which big men will become the best pros? on espn by John Hollinger...
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draf...lumnist=hollinger_john&page=DraftRater-080620
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.
Speights was also mentioned being equal to Arthur in rank...FYI... and Anthony Randolph is off the charts horrible... no player ranked as low as him in this system has ever gone on to succeed.
So back to Arthur... the kings do have a record of only drafting players that worked out with them... and there is no mention anywhere of Anthony Randolph coming to town... im guessin Petrie's thinking is that Randolph is too risky and likes to go with proven talent (at least on the level they were just at). Arthur is a polished offensive player that is also athletic and a good shot blocker... Rebounding is sorta an issue but most agree its because of simple things like boxing out and can easily be fixed, and shouldn't be an issue... I like Randolph's Raw potential/height, and Speights is good... but i would be much more happy with a player like Arthur... that already has proven game and has no issues with being motivated...plus hes been a winner on every level thus far.
it seems pretty clear by now that the kings are targeting DJ. A, Westbrook, Alexander, Arthur, and Speights. Although i might be missing one more... All these players are projecting as good NBA players... minus Speights motivation could hold him back
i also wanna throw out that im kinda into Alexis Ajinca he is a big (7ft.) question mark... anyone know if we worked him out or if we are plannin on it?
