I never said he wasn't a skill player. I was a big fan of him on Providence, and doubted the skeptics that let him drop that far in the draft. The truth of the matter is, he isn't the focal point on that offense. They have Pierce, Szcerbiak and Delonte West as primary options. He's just been extremely efficient with his touches. He's shooting over 60% in like a 10 game period.
I think the Celtics and Danny A were kind of hiding from taking a hit--I mean their use of the MLE was just about as bad as ours -Scalbrine and Dickau, their trading in general has been eh at best, but their draft picks have been saviours. They work with less than half the $$$ we do, but their future may very well be on a brighter upswing coming up. It will be interesting next year if they can get Jefferson to start plugging away at C.
