the words I've been waiting to hear



I didn't catch this until I saw it
in Peter May's ESPN column:

Ainge also took a roundabout shot at O'Brien regarding Johnson, the team's No.
1 pick (10th overall) in 2001 who lasted half a season before being traded to
the Suns. "If we're drafting Joe Johnson and we don't like to play him in
Boston, but he explodes in Phoenix, we have to evaluate what we're doing," he
told the Boston Globe. "It doesn't do me any good to go draft a player, if the
coach isn't going to put him on the court and give him a chance to develop. If
we're drafting players that aren't being developed or maybe we're drafting the
wrong players, or maybe we're drafting the right players that aren't being
developed properly ... either way it's bad."

Word.
