Joe Johnson..

[GuyClinch@xxxxxxx]

It's time for all you Wallace haters out there to apologize. The 2001 draft 
was not a failure. Joe Johnson is coming on - big time. He is starting to look 
like a future all-star. He is doing better then anyone on the Celtics outside 
of Pierce - that's right better then Ricky Davis or the great "Jiri". 

A case could be made that he is the second best player from that draft class. 
Joe is complete player with offensive and defensive ability - few players 
from that draft are matching what Joe is doing now.

Truth of the matter is that it can take YEARS sometimes for an undergraduate 
or HS level player to develop into a good pro. People have no patience and 
write off guys like Joe WAY to early. Any player under 25 has PLENTY of time to 
blossom. Heck Dampier is having a breakout season after seven years in the pros.
