Found it.

It was Arthur.

quote:

The deal was pending league approval at the time of the Hornets’ selection, so they took Darrell Arthur, a 6-foot-9 forward who averaged 12.8 points last season for national champion Kansas.

Arthur wore a Hornets hat as he shook hands with NBA commissioner David Stern at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York because he was not officially a member of the Trail Blazers yet, but completion of the deal was a formality and made official about an hour later.

The Trail Blazers then traded his rights to the Houston Rockets, who shipped them to Memphis in another transaction.

With no incoming rookies, the Hornets will add money that would otherwise have been spent on draft choices into their pot for free agency - in addition to about $3 million in cash received from Portland

Byron Scott quote.

We need to get better by adding a veteran. frick this pick.

quote:

“We’re not anymore a team of the future. We’re not looking two or three years down the line,” Hornets coach Byron Scott said. “It was our opinion there really wasn’t anybody there (in the draft) that could help us. If we could trade the pick, sell the pick, whatever the case may be, the bigger picture is trying to get a veteran guy who can come in here and help us right away.”
