Honestly, JaVale McGee? I'm sure that he'll end up as productive and influential as the last big man to come out of the WAC, which says of course, nothing. Yes, he showed flashes of greatness, but he had virtually no competition and his team didn't even make the tournament. We still have Brandon Haywood and will be getting back Etan Thomas. I realize McGee is for when Thomas is cut loose, but still, we could have gotten something better.
Like Darrell Arthur. A proven competitor. A national champion who banged, bruised and overcame the toughest competition in the country. A guy we were projected to take in most mock drafts. And I know people will say, oh, there was the rumor of the kidney problem. Yes, there was. And who was the team that did the blood work on June 25th which showed he had no kidney problem whatsoever? The Washington Wizards. Grunfeld botched this draft, and we remain hopeful to sign Arenas and Jamison, and then rely only on guys like Songalia and McGuire to be strong rebounding threats, when we could have had another strong body in the low post.
