Re: [Celtics' Stuff ] Banks is improving...

While I agree with your comments, I just want to say I'm not worried about 
Kedrick and getting him the ball unless we are on the break. I am totally happy 
to let him develop over the years as long as we are pushing Banks and giving 
LaFrenz mucho time. I think Kedrick will be a fine player but he is going to 
take him a couple more years to be the complete player. He was just taken too 
high in the draft. We should have taken him at the 21 spot. But its ok for him 
to melt into the woodwork on offense as long as we are getting contributions 
from the four other guys, PP, Baker, LaFrenz and Banks and Kedrick is doing his 
thang on defense and rebounding. I think our offense would be fine if those 4 
guys are contributing regardless of whether we break or not, run PP into the 
ground or any other mindless tactic that a coach might do with the exception of 
the three-point barrage....

I still have to throw Obie a bone for putting Banks in there at the end. I 
was already in my mind preparing to rip him a new one and here he puts the 
rookie in for some real on the job training. Yet, I suspiciously think that Obie 
did it for defensive purposes only. I'll take it anyways. Young Marcus was so 
afraid of screwing up that he would pass the ball to PP literally before PP had 
crossed the mid-court line....

I am slightly concerned about Vin and regaining weight. It just doesn't seem 
he is finishing as well as he was during the late exhibition and the first 
five games. I wouldn't mess with a good thing after what we went through before 
and would just keep him at the previous lighter weight.....

I love the 82 game site that was shared. It was interesting to see how 
LaFrenz showed so well. I am still chewing on all those stats.....
