Darrell Arthur Cleared to Practice

As reported by 3SOB and the Commercial Appeal, Arthur is cleared to begin full contact practice. This is great for our bench, but you're dead wrong if you think this fixes our bench problems. He will help off the bench, but please remember he hasn't played basketball since October.

Heres what I expect from Darrell:

1. Another physical, big body to come off the bench. We don't have a true PF back up for Z-Bo, and this will help.

2. Leadership off the bench. Yes, I know he's only a second year player, but that's more experience than the three rookies that come off the bench now.

3. Finally, I hope he comes in with a hungry attitude to win. He has experienced winning (I witnessed him do it in San Antonio over the Tigers) He has never experienced winning with the Grizz, but I'm confident that he will be hungry to prove himself and win.

Who knows if Arthur can produce, but we all know we need him. We'll see what happens. Go Grizz!
