Guy is ridiculous. Best 3-point range since Miller Time.
"Agent Zero" >>> "Hibachi"
Best thing about him might be the fact that he wears #0 because somebody told him he would get "zero" playing time at Arizona. Guess he proved that idiot wrong.
how in the blue hell did this guy not get taken in the first round?

i remember reading an article a few years ago which basically said GM's often make the mistake of "drafting for need" instead of drafting the player available that has the most talent or upside. take a look at the first round of the 2001 draft, can anyone name a player that is clearly better than arenas?:

to answer the question posed in the thread title (three question marks, wow), probably because we don't need a new thread for every single player in the NBA, regardless of his talent.

Definitely. Nobody has range like Arenas, but he's not an MVP-caliber player.
mod or not, youre insane
not sure if he's insane....but I disagree with him as well. Arenas is certainly an MVP candidate this year...and deserves to be mentioned with the best players in the league IMO.
