Gomes not a three? Phsaw!-ProJo

[Berry, Mark S]

This is good news. Even if he plays some 4 -- and he will -- his
advantages at that position are his quickness and ball skills (along
with his natural feel for the game and rebounding). He's never going to
be a big banger, so why slow down by bulking up? I was afraid that would
be the approach he would take and it never works.

"The Celtics have told Gomes to lose weight over the summer and work on

his perimeter skills."

excerpt:

{"This where I work on behind-the-scenes stuff," Gomes says. "And I  
know that other guys are working out, too, that I can't just take the  
summer off."

Gomes knows this is a business, that it's the basketball equivalent of  
kill or be killed. Either continue to get better or someone will take  
your minutes as quickly as a begger will steal food off your plate. The

Celtics have told Gomes to lose weight over the summer and work on his  
perimeter skills. He doesn't have to be told twice.

"I'm trying to be in this league for a long time," he says.}
