Good For Him

I’m sure Ainge looked into the background. Could be something to do with the “Brain Doctor”. He seems to find guys that are hungry in these late rounds, hungry enough that given to take advantage of an opportunity and not take it for granted. We’ve seen it most recently with Leon Powe and Bill Walker. We’ve also seen the likes of Justin Reed, Brandon Hunter and Oriene Greene. Just guys you wanna root for.
