IT IS A GOOD PICKUP!
Carlos Arroyo was signed by the Green on March 5 and it makes a lot of sense to me for a few reasons:
1) We needed another guard while Delonte is still out, and when he's back Arroyo just adds more depth to the back court and doesn't force Doc to play Bradley a lot.
2) Bradley isn't ready. He doesn't have the NBA instinct yet to run an offense in the Playoffs when Rondo isn't on the floor.
3) Arroyo can be a spark plug. He can penetrate the defense and get our shooters their shots. He is also capable of making his shot when given it.
4) He knows how to lead..even if it is by example. When he played for Puerto Rico he led his team to a 92-73 win over the United States..their first defeat since Professionals were allowed to play. He has the leadership skills to lead that team to a victory over states..he can run an NBA offense in the post season when needed...end of story!
Arroyo won't see many minutes once Delonte comes back.. he will be the 3rd option...but he might see some time with Rondo and him at the 2 spot. Or even Arroyo and Delonte running the show to given Rondo some rest in the middle of games. Either way, Arroyo will be useful and definitely fits.
