Re: Official Indiana Pacers 2008 Draft Thread
I think of Arthur as a smarter Tyrus Thomas

Re: Official Indiana Pacers 2008 Draft Thread
Yea, and Larry seems to really like Arthur, so the more I think about it, the more we could trade for the 13th-15th pick and grab him with DJ being our no.11 pick.

Augustin + Arthur would be nice..

Re: Official Indiana Pacers 2008 Draft Thread
I see Arthur as the partner to a start big man. Indiana should look at Speights. He's got the skills to be one of the best bigmen on both sides of the floor. He can run, score, move the ball, and he is a nasty rebounder. His offensive touch would look so good under O'Brien. He's a much better pick for a franchise big man, and I would think Indiana wants that.

Re: Official Indiana Pacers 2008 Draft Thread
im sorry but you cant compare augustin to chris paul, paul is in another league. i saw augustin play in conference and in the ncaa and he did not impress me at all......especially for a lottery pick. how this guy is projected so high is beyond me. rose made him look stupid in the ncaa tournament, he'll be a decent bench player at best.
i think nicolas batum is the pick.......19 and has all the tools to be a star. some lottery teams are gonna regret passin this guy up in a couple yrs. the pacers arent going anywhere anytime soon so why not pick up a young player with so much potential.

Re: Official Indiana Pacers 2008 Draft Thread
If the Toronto trade happens, do you see us still taking Augustin or Westbrook? I wouldn't mind having one of those guys as a back-up. I would definitely prefer one of those two over Diener but I don't see us drafting a guard anymore if this trade does occur. What do you guys think?

I could see Westbrook since he'd make a great backup combo guard, but he won't be at 11. Augustin plays so much like Ford that he'd be redundant. We'll probably end up taking Anthony Randolph. Agh.
