| Re: Celtics Report Card AL JEFFERSON...A- Now that he’s healthy, Big Al has arrived. He’s ranked 19th in the NBA in rebounding (10.7), 16th in blocks. If rated among centers (he’s actually listed as a forward but plays a lot of 5), he’d been fifth in the league in scoring, too. He is now officially a rebounding, scoring, defensive force, so chalk one up for Danny Ainge. Hey now, Danny Ainge got one right...I have always like Jefferson, and now he is living up to his potential...on a rather bad Celtic team. GERALD GREEN...C- Can be exasperating. Then again, high school players rarely make a splash in the NBA, and Green has improved by leaps and bounds since his rookie season. He still doesn’t quite understand the game, but his offensive potential and enthusiasm are awesome. I expected more from Green. |
