This way they don't go Brady Quinn, but Arthur did. Also, Jason Thompson is far from the worst pick, that happened at #6. Thompson is one of only a handful of players the last few years to average over 20 pts and 10 rbs. Yes, he played in the MAAC, but who cares. Look at his games versus teams like NC State, the ass whooping he handed Beasley and lets not forget him D'ing up and attempting to dunk on LeBron last summer at one of LeBron's NIKE camps. He will be a good pick. You realize they only invite the players who will be or are expected to be taken in the lottery right. This way they don’t go Brady Quinn, but Arthur did.
