IDK. Maybe he's a HEAD above him?

I guess he was always going to be extended over everyone else.

If given a shot this season I think Peterson can be a contributor on an NBA team.

On a Two-Way, I'd take him back.
He's around a 40% 3-pt shooter. And brought the ball up, when DJ Steward and JD Davison were Out.

What is your problem ? You went out of your way to call Anton Watson a bust even though he isn't even played a minute of NBA action yet. You critized Davison for no apparent reason. Not sure why you seemed intent on lambasting every move by an executive that turned a .500 team into one of the most dominant teams of all time in just three years while somehow retaining most of its future draft capital.
If you think that the Celtics can do better than a 6'9 guy that shoots 40% from three and can handle the ball a little bit with their two way contracts we would all love to hear who that mystery man is.

His comment on Anton Watson had me scratching my head. I'm pretty sure he is well off the mark, but we shall see. As for Drew Peterson, he put up some decent numbers in Maine. Will he ever find a spot on the Celtics? We are the reigning champions, and it looks like we are bringing most everyone back. It will be hard for him to even find a spot at the end of the bench, but it could happen. The "Yawn" comment seems unnecessarily disrespectful, however.

By that standard, short-necked Queta "The Walrus" must be the equivalent of 7'2", at least.

A little baby bird. An actual bird. Not Larry Bird to be clear. What an unfortunate bone structure.

Anyone else think he's grown into his neck more this season? Seems smaller than last year and his last year at USC.
edit: Basically saying I feel bad for the jokes and not sure if it's just getting used to the guy or what, but wouldn't even comment on it when seeing him now.

I like Jordan Walsh over Drew.. Sorry.. But I also like anyone who plays well and makes my Team look good. Drew Peterson did both. Shooting is always my biggest requirement. If he can shoot and play a little switchable defense, then I will buy more stock on Drew.
Keep knocking down shots, when you get the chance..
I am guessing Tomorrow vs Miami he will get another chance. An entire career can be made with another strong outing. Pulling for him.

Guess that depends on who's available tomorrow.
If JB and White return then we might not see Peterson.

The Drew Peterson Era has begun.
We stand in reverence of this bench superstar.
Well, he has more of an NBA game than Walsh, Springer and Tillman at the moment....
