RE: Brandon Hunter
I have seen Hunter play twice.
He bangs the boards relentlessly, has a nice inside game and is strong as an ox.
There is no way he could be classified as a stiff in any form or fashion. In fact, I would hope there is some way Bruno hits the bricks and we keep Hunter if only to show everyone else on the team how to box out properly.

I have not seen Hunter play, but my son has. He said Hunter was a monster on the boards although their (DePaul's) big men held him in check. I looked up that game; Hunter went about 13 and 13 as I remember. I expect he's good enough to make tenth man on a talent challenged NBA squad, one of which would be the Celts. Or, in other words, he's a shorter, quicker, more hungry Songaila. Can he make the Celtics? I guess it would be good to take Paul's mantra: "I watch . . . I learn."
Still, we might be pleasantly surprised. Like Bob Ryan said in the Globe today--he didn't expect to ever see a complete player like Havlicek; two years later, there was Bird. So, be open to the surprises of the future. We're due a few pleasant ones. Ha. It begins tonight for three guys that may help us a lot. Cheers, Gene
