Kedrick News

["hironaka@xxxxxxxxx"<hironaka@xxxxxxxxx>]

If there is any bright spot on the Celtics preseason to 
date, it is the surprise double-figure bench scoring of 
Chris Wallace summer pickups Shammond and (the one-
dimensional) Bruno Sundov. 

We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, but obviously if 
they keep it up, that's HUGE. I'd give it a 50% chance, 
maybe less. But Bruno seems as one-dimensional as Zhi Zhi 
Wang, and possibly not even as talented IMHO. He's also 
young though, and playing like a first rounder.

It looks like Vin Baker will be Boston's new sixth man. 
He's not looking good at all, but we know what he can do. 

I hate to admit it, but so far its NOT just the coach's 
fault that he's played poorly. The 48-year-old Dikimbe 
basically has overwhelmed him, as did the big Bulls 
frontline.  

As for the rest of the current C's bench, there is good 
news on Kedrick Brown in today's Herald. 

Incidentally, we also asked Chris Wallace if Kedrick's 
injury was anything like Battie's 40-game injury of two 
years ago, and he said no and that Kedrick is a young guy 
who will probably recover fast. He has very positive 
things to say about Kedrick, which Josh O. might want to 
report on. Nothing worth stopping the presses for, but he 
likes the guy as much as the Nets like Richard Jefferson. 
I doubt he's looking to salary dump him, like Joe Forte.

Anyway, here's what the newspapers have to say about the 
Celtics man child.

Go Celts!
