How much Arizona basketball did you actually watch this past season?

The fact that Brandon Rush is not athletic at all and does nothing that no other SG can't do scares the crap out of me. What does Bird see in him? To be Honest I think his ceiling is 15/4/3 at best.

enough to know hes a ball hog. he's not a PG....and he sure as hell aint playin sg at his size. the last thing i want is a shoot first PG who cant help a team unless he's scoring. that's bayless. the crap-10 is an overrated conference in general, kevin love will be a bust too.
brandon rush is underrated....i think he is going to surprise and be a better player than most think. i dont know whether i wouldve drafted him 11th but he is a solid pick. rush had a knee injury too, and when he came back he was a player. as much hype as arthur got and chalmers being called a sleeper people forget rush. he has good size for his position and can be a very good defender i think. im not sayin he'll be an all star, but he'll be an important guy if indiana wants to compete some day.

Injury
After returning to Kansas in May 2007, it was announced that Rush had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee playing in a pickup game of basketball. He had planned on entering the 2007 NBA Draft had he not suffered this injury, but returned to play for Kansas. On June 1, 2007, Rush successfully had surgery on the torn ACL in his right leg.[2]After rehabilitation, Rush returned to play in November and soon after re-entered the starting lineup.
[edit] Junior season
After returning to the starting line-up he led Kansas to the 2008 NCAA championship title. In the national semifinal game against North Carolina, Rush was named the Most Valuable Player, when he scored 25 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.[3][4] Rush was rated the number one small forward in all of college basketball by Rivals.com for his overall statistics, being named MVP in the Big 12 Tournament, and averaging 15.8 points per game in the six games of the NCAA national championship tournament.[5]
not athletic?

Sorry, but neither of those two videos show much. They're both great plays, but don't show much from Rush. I was looking on youtube the night after we drafted him and that's the best I found. It's not encouraging at all.
