When I saw this guy's name on the roster it was a big yawn. Yet this is a guy 
we need on the Celtics bench. With pro coaching he could combine the 
strengths of both EWill & McCarty except for the 3 pt shooting. Considering 
he's cost about $350,000 (is that the minimum?) he might very well earn a 
spot.

I'm in the camp with those who were impressed by Cook. He penetrates faster 
than any PG we've has in a long time and I thought he made several great 
passes.
