Neither the Herald nor the Globe gives any clue as to how Radmanovic 
performed in his workout yesterday, what with all the focus on local 
product and ex-Kentucky recruit Michael Bradley. Wallace and Obie are doing 
a pretty good job of not tipping their hand.

Incidentally, guard Jamison Brewer, who worked out for Boston yesterday, 
got a fair amount of pub last week. I think Andy Katz wrote an article 
about him.

Bradley's dream includes Celtics
by Gus Martins
Thursday, June 14, 2001
The Celtics' reconstruction might outlast the Big Dig, but that hasn't 
scared off Worcester's Michael Bradley.
Bradley, who led the NCAA Division 1 ranks with a 69.2 percent field goal 
percentage last season for Villanova, would love to fulfill a childhood 
dream and play for the Celtics.
``It would be a great honor for me to play here,'' Bradley said yesterday 
during a seven-player predraft workout supervised by Celtics coach Jim 
O'Brien at The Sports Authority Center at HealthPoint in Waltham. ``Every 
kid's dream is to play in the NBA. My dream is to play for the Celtics. So 
I know what the Celtics' history is all about.
``I would love to play at home. A lot of guys don't really want that. They 
think it might be pressure. I'm close to an hour away and that's far enough 
away for me. I would just love to play for the Celtics.''
Bradley, expected to work out for as many as 10 teams prior to the June 27 
draft, could go anywhere from No. 6 to No. 17. The Celtics have three 
first-round selections at 10, 11 and 21.
A 6-foot-10 forward, Bradley possesses a range of skills, including superb 
passing ability that makes him an intriguing frontcourt player.
``I think the strength of my game is when I can either post up down low or 
face up,'' he said. ``Especially when I face up I can use my passing 
skills, which I think is the strongest part of my game. Also, just being 
able to knock down the open shot and take some pressure off my team.''
Said O'Brien: ``I've known Michael since he was a senior (in high school). 
He is very, very skilled around the basket. . . . (He's) as skilled a 
low-post guy as there is in the draft right now, especially in lieu of the 
fact that there are a lot of high school players (eligible) who have not 
developed their games.''
Two other big men attended the one-day camp, including 6-10 Vladimir 
Radmanovic of Serbia and 6-9, 240-pound Brian Scalabrine of USC.
Radmanovic, 20, has three years professional experience with Red Star 
Belgrade. In Saporta Cup action for FMP Zeleznik this winter, he averaged 
13.1 points and 9.9 rebounds in nine games. Scalabrine averaged 15.7 points 
and 6.8 rebounds for the Trojans.
``Michael Bradley, from what I hear, is working out with teams that are 
drafting anywhere from 7-19,'' said O'Brien. ``Radmanovic pretty much the 
same thing. Scalabrini, I think, won't be a lottery pick, but he is going 
to be there for our last pick.''
There were also four guards in the workout. O'Brien said he has knowledge 
of former Cincinnati guard Kenny Satterfield from camps in Los Angeles, 
Phoenix and Chicago.
The coach also has watched a lot of tape of UCLA's Earl Watson but admitted 
he knew little of Jamison Brewer of Auburn or Tony Parker of France.

The Celtics announced yesterday that the annual Shaw's Pro Summer League 
will run from Monday, July 16 through Sunday, July 22 at UMass-Boston's 
Clark Athletic Center. The 10-team league will feature two doubleheader 
sessions each weekday and five games on Saturday and Sunday.
Tickets are $8 per doubleheader and will be available beginning Monday at 
www.celtics.com, the FleetCenter box office and Ticketmaster.
