#00•D. ARTHUR

PF • 6’9, 235 lbs; 10th year, Kansas

SALTY DOG

NBA ROLE: VETERAN FOUR

 

Darrell Arthur’s been an undervalued four since entering the league back in ’08; Arthur’s role as pick & pop shooter/energetic rebounder has been a plus in each of his previous stops; Arthur has a lock and load J that’s accurate from midrange (quick turnaround Js, launches right off the catch) & deep in the corner; starting to shoot the 3 ball at very good clip, albeit at a low volume; would make more of an impact on a title contender but is an important, frontcourt mentor – ready to make a difference whenever needed

ALEX ABRINES (OKC)

#8•A. ABRINES

SG • 6’6, 190 lbs; 3rd year, Spain

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: (RAW) SCORING WING

 

Spanish import Alex Abrines has earned early tick in Billy Donovan’s rotation; spending extra time overseas did wonders for Abrines – drafted 32nd overall in 2013, Alex played for FC Barcelona before entering the league – he’s used to high level competition; brings an NBA-caliber J to the fold: good set shooter – Abrines is a great option spotting up, starting to gain more confidence handling the rock & creating plays; needs to get stronger, bulking up could help him on D (& the glass); Alex’s floor spacing creates opportunities to shine – what other parts of his game will flourish in OKC?

KYLE SINGLER (OKC)

#15•K. SINGLER

SF • 6’8, 228 lbs; 7th year, DUke

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: SHOOTER

 

Kyle Singler doesn’t light the world on fire but adds wing depth in OKC; when provided enough opportunity, Singler can make a mark from outside; decent at putting the ball on the floor & attacking closeouts – uses his 6’8 frame to lift short Js in the lane or sneak in for easy buckets; capable passer and ball-handler, though not exactly a playmaker; fighting for spot mintues on the wing – will Billy Donovan trust Singler enough to supply offense?

#2•W. BALDWIN IV

G • 6’4, 202 lbs; 3rd year, Vanderbilt

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC COMBO GUARD

 

The IV’th edition of Wade Baldwin is an athletic combo guard; strong attacker – quick bursts, able to finish at the rim – needs to master downhill control & weaving around screens; drives w/ the intention to make something happen – liable to blow by guys without having to initiate sets or dribble into a floater/jumper before the D can react; decent shooter, must capitalize on looks generating via Dame & CJ; capable defender at both guard spots – Portland needs Baldwin to come in & disrupt action when the starters rest; shot creating + defense will yield more chances – on Terry Stotts's radar in 2019?
