RE: Lee Benson

[Kai_Brunnen_G@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

As the first person to advocate Lee Benson in these premises,
it does my heart good to see others appreciate him.

However, Lee is going to require an awful lot of tutleage
and playing time to become a whole NBA player. 
Lee's got to play and soon, so you can get two - four productive years out of him.

You can't draft him
and leave him immobilized on the bench, as with other recent Celtics draft picks.

And that be a large problem with the current administration. 

As far as Gadzuric goes, I'd be leery of UCLA players that need to toughen
up. The Celtics made the mistake of taking one already with a lottery pick.
