If the Cavs are drafting Hickson to be a scoring option in the post, it's a big mistake to take him over Arthur IMO. At least, for better or worse, the Wizards drafted a guy as much for his defense as anything. Hickson should definitely not be getting drafted ahead of Arthur for offense out of a post position.

NBA Comparison: Andrew Bynum/Patrick O’Bryant

Strengths: Long athletic bigman who is absolutely bursting with potential ... Runs the floor exceptionally well ... Improving at a rapid pace on both ends of the floor. Has freakishly long arms: around a 7-6 wingspan which makes him a great rebounder and shot blocker ... Can really become a force defensively when he adds strength and discipline on opponent's shot fakes ... His length makes it extremely difficult for opponents to get shots over ... His offensive game is showing a lot of promise with developing back to the basket skills. He even shows some ability to face the basket and make drives or spot up ... Has a competitive spirit that is not apparent in many bigmen who picked up the game because of their size. A late bloomer who went underrecruited out of Chicago. McGee's parents were both professional basketball players so he has been around the game from a young age ... Shows solid form and touch on his shot ... Has a tremendous frame which should allow him to get much stronger and retain his great agility and athleticism ... Gives great effort and shows very good stamina for a bigman his age ... Added strength will give him better balance and make him a lot more effective imposing his will inside ... Has the potential to be a top 5-10 center in the league someday (if he's patient about entering the NBA) ... Has even shown the ability to knock down shots from college 3, no question influenced by the presence of Nick Fazekas last year ...

Weaknesses: Still must gain maturity. He gets frustrated far too easily and loses his composure quickly when calls go against him, or when he's struggling ... Still growing into his body and game, learning what he's capable of and steadily becoming a factor night in and night out ... Needs to develop some go to moves. A reliable jump hook would make him an absolute force ... Must improve from the free throw line (50% won't cut it). He has solid shooting touch and should be able to raise his FT shooting to at least 70-75 percent over time if he develops a consistent routine and works at it ... Should be wary of leaving school early. It's likely he would be a first rounder this year, but a third year in college would really help him in the long run as he would be much better prepared for the NBA and not run the risk of losing confidence and falling short of his full potential ...

Doesn't mean anything. He's horrible on the defensive end. He was able to use his long wingspan to get blocks and look good in college. Doesn't mean that will translate in the NBA.

This guy is a bust.

Horrible how? The guy has been good on D in college, is long and fast. Length and speed work pretty well in the NBA. He's also a legit 7 footer that can put the ball on the floor and move quickly.

He was thoroughly dominated by guys smaller than him in college and he played against weak competition.

Again I repeat, he only made the defensive team because of his block numbers and he was playing against inferior competition most of the time.

He has no developed skill and is not a good defender. You will see for yourself when he is on the floor. Decent help defender, but watch him man to man and you'll beg for Kwame.

lol, well I thought turkoglu was playing the 2 for them the past year (they had lewis at the 4?)...

I don't know too much about Lee as I didn't see much of him outside the tournament, but it's not a surprising pick if Orlando was targetting a SG. CDR and Shan Foster are the only other 2 I can think of off the top to even consider at this point in the draft, and Lee certainly seems better than Foster with a more diverse skillset (Foster's more a pure shooter) from what I've seen and picked up on otherwise.
