Additional Information
He could have shot up in the first round with a stellar performance. Instead, he was somewhat average. But he's still talented enough to stay in the first round.

Strengths: Excellent first step owns a variety of penetration moves like stutter steps, crossovers, and change of directions moves to get in the lane ... Loves to create offense for himself especially when playing in one-on-one situations ... Has become a much more consistent 3-point shooter from the outside ... Defensively he has quick hands and plays the passing lanes well for easy picks .... For his age he owns pretty good shot selection something that will be very valuable at the next level ... Can play a small amount of time at the point guard position ... Smooth creates well in traffic and can finish with some flair like floaters and reverses ... Average rebounder for his size although his numbers aren't great but remember he played with Michael Wright and Loren Woods so not that many rebounds went astray... Above average shooter off the dribble can shake and shoot with the best of them. ...

Weakness: Has troubles defensively defending taller players this will cause him to be a liability on defense... Tweener doesn't have the play making ability to play point guard and doesn't have the height (6-3) to play shooting guard ... Turnovers are a problem for Arenas often because he tries to do too much with ball ... Has a tendency to shoot erratic from the 3-point line although this has more to do with his mechanics so he can correct this... Must continue to enhance his mid-range as it goes through periods of inconsistency although this happened less this year ... Should work on improving his ball handling while it was good in college for a shooting guard the point guard postion might be what he plays full time in the NBA ....
