     McLeod, drafted out of Duke by Atlanta with the 20th pick in 1998,
gives the Celtics another outside shooter along with first-round picks
Joe Johnson, Kedrick Brown and Joseph Forte.
     "Coach Jim O'Brien has a thing for shooters and scorers," Celtics
general manager Chris Wallace said in a telephone interview. "He wants
to load the court with as many as possible."
     If McLeod doesn't work out, he has only one year left on his
contract. Moiso has a minimum of two remaining.
     "Roshown gives us some flexibility that Jerome did not provide,"
Wallace said.
     "Roshown is a mid-range shooter," Wallace said. "He's primarily a
small forward, but he could in short spurts play some at power forward
much like Walter McCarty and Eric Williams can."

     "I tend to think there's not an awful lot more that's going to be
done, if anything, between now and training camp," Wallace said.
     The Celtics have 14 guaranteed contracts. Wallace said he wants to
keep the 15th roster spot open for awhile. The team could sign an
attractive free agent if one is still available in the fall. If not,
Wallace said he'd like the flexibility to sign a minor-leaguer during
the season.
