Good news to hear POB is working hard. He really wants to be a good player. Good luck POB!

So much for the big guy that has no work ethic.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Haha

I hate driving in Boston too!

U gotta love the effort Bill Walker is putting in. If we end up signing P.J. later in the year… I’d much rather see Scalabrine bought out, then seeing Walker cut.

a few practices does not a championship rotation player make.

Scalabrine is going to have the type of year that will make all of us believers.

It is always nice to hear about the new guys putting in their time.

Miles will be in the mix too… he was only signed less than a week ago!!! :-\

Walker, whom Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge deemed a candidate for European League duty at the time of the draft – “At the beginning, we were thinking that maybe we might send him overseas for a year[/quote]

[quote]The reason I think moving to Europe â€" as he can’t go back to college â€" would be a great move for him is that he’d be drilled intensively in the kind of individual fundamentals he needs to improve and he’ll still be able to get playing time against better competition, something that would force to put his new acquired skills in practice in game situations, which is very useful to solidify fundamentals.


Now, let me say that all these flaws I’ve pointed out are very correctable â€" except the long-range jumper, that will take time to develop, if ever; and his tendency to overplay, that will require intense team-play practicing and playing time. Most of the others are correctable in the short-term, given good coaching. In fact, even a Summer of hard work can help a lot.

Walker is said to be a very hard-working and smart kid, with a huge desire to be great. If that’s accurate, and considering he’s only 20 years old, there’s no reason he can’t improve his overall skills very quickly, barring enduring effects from his injuries.

Ah, great minds think alike! ;D

I’m kinda shocked that Pruitt isn’t working out with them, anyone else ?

^^^ Why would Pruitt get any time next anyways when Rondo will be playing like 30-35 minutes a game. And then Eddie House steps in for the rest of the game. Pruitt is kind of like Big Baby he’s only insurance if a player goes down.

No. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t working out somewhere else. No need to be working at the team facilities at this point. Better coaches and working groups out there if you want to work a specific part of your game.

E.g. Darius Miles is working out in Phoenix with Robin Pound. Makes sense for him.

things are falling into place- next up= sign the coaches who tho at the end of the list of signings are really the most important occurence of the off season. i just hope our old timers are not too out of bb shape.
