Recent Moves and the Draft

King Joffrey

Not to high on Arthur, I would have liked to go after J.J. Hickson. Hopefully Arthur can show a little more with some more playing time but I don't think he's a serious threat to challenge Faried for a starting spot, and I don't think he can play C. He does have some decent range though, much better than any of our other big guys.

He is going to be much better for us than KK

I'm not sure. KK was still young and even though he played horribly in the playoffs, he showed a lot of improvement over the course of the regular season. I really like Mozgov though, and I guess this move means Mozgov will be brought back to backup McGee. Ultimately I thought a rotation of the 3 would work excellently if McGee got a good amount of time at PF.

I just think rebounding was a huge problem for us and that's something Arthur's game is lacking. He's a bit bigger and stronger than Faried, so he gives us more of a physical presence down low.

It was more of a hot streak than anything. He was awful in the playoffs, but he also was horrible the last month of the season.

Arthur is better, trust me.

Getting Arthur for KK was a good move. Darrell can play inside and out, is a decent defender and has a good shot. Plus he's only a year older than Koufos and shoots free throws a little better. his career high is over 80% but he's had a couple low seasons. His upside is way higher than Koufos and he brings skill.

I watched him at Kansas in his 2 years and he progressed alot from his first year to 2nd. He'll be a pretty good player coming off the bench for us.


As far as McGee and Mozgov go, if Shaw runs a half court offense I'd rather have Mozgov start. he's a lot slower and can't jump but has better post moves.

JR Smith is also an FA now. I wouldn't mind seeing him back if Iguodala is gone. Milwaukee is interested in him though.

And like the experience said, Arthur is a lot better. Much more consistent. Arthur is only a year older than Koufos.
