Good move. No sense just sitting on the bench when he could be working on his skills.

Good move. Now he’ll get some consistent playing time to develop his game. I’ll be watching how he does.

Expected. Hoping he develops his game better down there.

Ironically I just saw him at his apartment building while I was dropping my daughter off for the day. I can now tell the babysitter she no longer has a celtic living above her.

Yo, I think that Wallace would be a good asset to the team. I mean he could keep working with Gabe and helping him inprove his game. O and one more thing you guys should watch out for next season, this kid out of LHS, i think his name is Keith Matte or something, but man is this kid got game. Hopfully the C’s take a good look at him and we see him in the D leauge next year.

Can’t be too long before Gabe makes the trip as well. I think it would be a good move to send both of them anyway. Better that they get to play in the D-League then cheer from the bench with KG in the 4th quarter when we are up by 20.

Still not sure why we are connected with a D-League team all the way out in Utah. What ever happened to sending our guys to Florida?

My guess is that the Utah connection starts and ends with Ainge.

Answered my own question:

“The Boston Celtics will be affiliated with the Utah Flash. Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge played his college basketball in Utah at Brigham Young University.”

This link had some interested stuff about NBA affiliates in the D-League.

Wallace is a D-League kinda player. He needs to make improvements before he can perform and this level and contribute to this team.

The Celtics staff had decided Wallace will be a “Power 3”. In order for him to compete at the NBA level he is going to need to get stronger and work on his ball handling. During the summer league he showed that he can get on the boards as well as shoot the three ball. With some hard work on his game he could be a nice player for us in the future. He has the BBIQ, I’m pretty sure I read that he is a coaches son.

Stay strong and get smarter Braveheart Wallace

Young Brandon Bravehart Wallace: But I can fight.
 
Malcolm “Doc” Wallace: I know. I know you can fight. But it’s our wits that make us men.
