The Lewis signing hurts his value because his natural position is small forward, which is where Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu play. Were it not for Lewis, Ariza might be on the fast track to starting ahead of Turk… now he has to learn to play a new position. Oh well. At least he’ll probably have SG and SF eligibility this season, just as Lewis should gain PF ability now that Tony Battie is done.

I thought Ariza was doing to be a sleeper for the past few years, so I’ve kind of lost faith in him.

I think Ariza has some sleeper potential if he gets major minutes. He’s a solid offensive rebounder, especially for a two-guard, and the presence of three-point shooters should open up the lane for him to throw down some pretty vicious dunks, such as the ones he laid on Alonzo Mourning, Emeka Okafor, and Jermaine O’Neal last year. Jeez.
