No consensus on the #3 pick
Published 5/21/2008 by SG at TWolvesBlog
... The GM at pick No. 3 will likely be choosing between Arizona's Jerryd Bayless or USC's O.J. Mayo. Both are coming off stellar freshman seasons in the Pac-10. Both can be destructive forces on the offensive end of the floor. Both have their share of red flags that might keep them from reaching their full potential. However, if a general manager values his job, he'll pick Mayo. Mike DeCourcy/Sporting News has the Wolves taking Jerryd Bayless in his mock draft: Although he never was entirely comfortable as a college point because of turnover issues, he is a willing passer and ...

It's not a wonderful team, but certainly a young and talented one, and capable at that. It's going to be a long wait until the draft. Let the great speculation begin!

David West's success with the Hornets ought to create a nice market for Arthur, who has similar size, a comparable game and greater athleticism. Arthur had the guts to make some of the most important baskets in KU's championship game victory. He will grow into a nice pick-and-pop weapon. Arthur could stand to become a hungrier rebounder. Not sure about the David West comparison, west seems to have more of a power game than Arthur. But I like his game nonetheless. He's ...
