But will he ever be a point guard?  (I'm not saying he won't, but from a
fan's perspective it is at least too soon to know for sure).  

If Kenny Anderson can:

	A) Generate easy fast break baskets on offense
	B) Run an offense, getting the ball to Antoine, Ron, and others
	   where they can do something with it. 

Then he will be a huge help to the Celtics, regardless of what his stats
are.  Billups may be a better player in the long run, but even so he may
never be a floor leader.  If Anderson can be, the Celtics are in good
shape for the next 5 years.
