Coming back to earth

[peter delevett <pdelevett@amcity.com>]

A question for all of you who have seen the Celts' performances in the summer leagues:

Assuming this league is, as much as anything, an audition for the third-string
spots at point and two guard, who do you guys think has done the best job? Who
do you expect to see on the Celtics' bench this season?

Point guard: Marlon Garnett/Wayne Turner/Kevin Ollie
Off guard: Bruce Bowen/Adrian Griffin/Kris Clack

Just from reading posts, it sounds like Ollie and Turner have played equally
well. My gut choice would be for Turner, since he knows "The System" and Ollie
is a lifetime journeyman. But as someone else queried, would Turner displace
Damon Jones as the third PG?

At the other spot, it sounds like Bowen has been playing well on both ends of
the floor. Do people think he has a legitimate shot at coming back, or is he
likely auditioning for another team? Can he shoot and score against real NBA
players? Or is Pitino likely to get a guy who can D it up almost as well while
showing some semblance of an offensive game? Do Griffin and/or Clack defend as
well as Bowen, and do you think either can score against the pros if called upon?

Finally, what do people who've seen these games think about Riley's chances of
being re-signed to back up Vitaly? Thanks.
