What they're saying:
ESPN.com
“On talent, Arthur has the makings of a lottery pick. He has great size, is very athletic, runs the floor like a deer and can be a very effective scorer in the paint and midrange game. However, his poor rebounding numbers and his inconsistency at KU have kept him from being a lock for the lottery. Look for him to fall somewhere between picks 10 and 20.”

"Arthur's stock has held steady, and this is as good a time as any to make the jump."

RealGM
"Arthur has a remarkable court awareness as he is almost always in an ideal position on both ends of the floor. He posts with purpose; constantly trying to seal his man and can finish well with either hand. Arthur is also a good passer out of the post and pretty much anywhere else on the floor. His ball-handling does need a great deal of more work. He is very athletic, sprinting the floor with gusto, beating his man down the floor for easy transition buckets. His jump shot is far from developed, but shows nice promise."

"Watching Arthur play he just looks the part of an NBA prospect. With decent size, wingspan and offensive skills, Arthur is made for the pro game. He might not be ready right away, but within a few seasons he should be a NBA starter."

NBADraft.net
"A skilled power forward with a tremendous package of size and athleticism … Possesses a good handle for a player his size as well as a mid-range shot … Runs the floor very well for his size, very fluid … Solid post moves for a player his age, and showing good development in his post game … His shooting touch is good and his range seems to be improving."

Draft Express
“Athleticism…scoring mentality…ability to score in the paint…transition play/Running the floor…turnaround jumper…excellent lateral quickness…solid all-around defender.”

HoopsHype.com
"Smooth big man with a scoring mentality, and very nice potential both facing and with his back to the basket. Possesses a terrific frame and wingspan, with excellent athletic ability."
