Re: Not All Bad

Yeah, good point on the assist stat but evidently this kid likes the scoring
action. It has been absent in the past as a Celtic but was a scorer in
College averaging around 18. Looks like he led his Conference in assists and
steals in 02-03, but assists were around 4 per game. I don't follow college
but it seems low. Kinda hard to get assists with the Celts anyway with the
present offense. He can grow into a floor leader.
