I don't think Pitino is going to bring in any veteran point guards, 
especially small ones who can't shoot.  I expect him to draft a bigger 
guard who can shoot.  Someone like Billups, actually.  Although it 
should work out better now that the kid won't have to start right off 
the bat.  Rick seems to have a thing for getting people to play out of 
position.  I think he's looking for advantages in either size or 
quickness.  So, you end up with a lot of big shooting guards who can't 
handle the ball very well and a lot of quick centers who can't muscle in 
the paint.  In theory I like the idea, particularly if it results in a 
bigger point guard with a good outside shot who can take a few years to 
becom the Celtics next starter at that poition.  If any veterans are 
brought in, look for another of Pitino's PHDs (Bowen, Garnett).
