Former South Oak Cliff basketball player caught with marijuana at NBA rookie camp

Darrell Arthur and former Kansas teammate were thrown out of the rookie transition program.

Unfortunately, Arthur and Chalmers were slipped this poster with their orientation materials.

Former South Oak Cliff basketball player Darrell Arthur may not have benefited from grade changing when he was in high school, but he sure as heck is getting into trouble now: Arthur and fellow NBA rookie Mario Chalmers, both of whom starred for the Kansas Jayhawks in college, were thrown out of the NBA's rookie transition program after they were caught with marijuana and women in their room (marijuana is a no-no for obvious reasons, and players are not allowed visitors while at the program).

Ironically, two of the panels that rookies are required to attend while at the program are ones on drugs and alcohol and sexual health. Think it's safe to say that those messages didn't get through.
