We need to try to get an early 2nd, there's still talent left.

Spurs will take Arthur... book it.

With the Batum pick, it's evident that we'll have to address our scoring need via Jackson trade.

Batum has great upside and can be stashed overseas if he didnot do well in summer league.

Batum is alright
he's young and athletic
if he's coming next year he won't get too much playing time imo
