Hey!!! Good for Arthur. I'm just happy that he got picked in the first round and got a guaranteed contract.

PG - Bayless
SG - Roy
SF - Arthur
PF - Aldridge
C - ODen

Ouch...

If Speights comes in and has a good preseason, he could see major minutes.  There really is very little in his way at the PF position.  He should at LEAST see 10-15 minutes at the start of the season.  He has to develop, but unlike some of the other "project" PF prospects, he can get buy with his size and rebounding while he develops.

If the sixers play Iguodala and Young at the proper positions i think speights immediately becomes the #1 PF on the depth chart personally

[Derek Bodner]

There goes Arthur. Go grab a late second/early first and go for Jordan. Heck, I'll even go with Greene at this point.

PG - Bayless

Ouch...

Thats a young and scary team...

WHo are the point guards left?

[Derek Bodner]

I really wish we had gone and gotten another late first to get Arthur.  I do have a good feeling about him.  He's small, but he's fluid.

Snider couldn't be so cheap as to say 'no i won't pay 3 mil for a pick?'

[TheGuiltyParty]

Well.... I'm happy with Speights... but we should have grabbed Arthur.

Chalmers is still on the board...
Kyle Weaver is highly underrated...

Totally agree

[jemagee]

Kyle Weaver - i know nothing but the numbers i just looked at - doesn't look like a bad 50K investment

When is memphis going to clear their point guard glut?
