Whatever...
Stats aren't everything....

Most folks can see the Kedrick can play..its just a matter of time before he 
breaks out even bigger then that. He was on his way to a big game last year 
too..before he inured his ankle. Seeing how he was a junior college player 
one would expect him to really arrive next year.. 

But he will throw down 20+ sooner or later.  It doesn't matter how long he 
has been around..its how many minutes he has been getting. He was injured 
much of last year and this year, and OB never played him much.  He had a 
double double in his only start of the season. That's not to shabby.

Folks like to bash Wallace and Papile here..but I think that both Joe Johnson 
and Kedrick Brown will have very succesfull and long NBA careers.. Whether 
Kedrick will stay on the Celtics....I don't know.

Truth is OB doesn't really like talented players who "coast" thats why he 
unloaded JJ and why sometimes he is sour on Kedrick. He wants these guys to 
work hard. Thats why he loves E. Williams because he always hustles and 
maximizes his limited ability. Personally I would just start Kedrick...all 
the time.

Thats why Phoenix is doing with J.J and the guy is starting to turn it on. JJ 
is a very smooth and skilled player...but Kedrick is more athletic. Both 
should be fine..
