I wonder where Joe Forte might get drafted, if the Celts were out the 
picture? Does anyone think he'd last until the 21st pick? I doubt that.

Also did anyone see his game against the Dream Team? I read that he was 
unable to get his jump shot off over bigger guys (presumably Gary Payton 
and so forth).

Shooting guards are trending smaller these days especially in the East, but 
he's built pretty frail that's the main thing. The other thing is maybe he 
could be a walk-it-up, spot-up-shooting point guard with Antoine running 
the passing game. How good is his handle? His defense?

One thing's for sure, Forte's got a great college resumé. One of the great 
scorers in Tarheal's history.

There are a lot of players I'd like the Celtics to look at first though. 
Who would you guys put in your list of 15 players they are planning to work 
out, whom they haven't seen already.

BTW, did you all catch that "work out warrior" quote from Chris Wallace 
saying he doesn't want to get too caught up in the workout performances and 
lose sight of the big picture. Gee, I wonder why he'd make a comment like 
that? ;-)

I'll believe it when I see it as far as any contribution next year from 
poodle-boy goes.
