celtic fan here , since dunleavy has been with for a while , could you guys give a rundown on his strengths and weaknesses . from what i've seen he's a fair shooter with descent ball skills . Hope you guys have a great season .

I've been peaking in on the Celtics board lately for Rondo rumors. I saw that someone over there saw Dunleavy at Logan Airport.

that's what was reported . we just don't have any kind of bench at all and with all the bk to bks. everyone has to endure , our old legs are going to be like rubber by playoff time . I know Dunleavy was a high draft pick and some talk of him as a bust . I believe one has to look at what a guy brings to the table and see if they can live with the pluses . are you guys really in the hunt for Paul ? Of course i'm a big Bird fan so i always pull for the Pacers as a secondary team . Just curious as to dunleavy's productivity . we need bench scoring badly , with the aging of our big 3 . any lowdown will be appreciated . Larry's birthday today i believe .

Dun is a long shooter who is good off the ball and distributing. His speed is lacking, and he cannot defend. He is a solid rebounder.

He would be a nice bench player behind Ray and Paul in terms of shooting, but a wing defender would probably be a good idea, too.

Mikey D is going to the Bucks though

Atleast he'll team up with the guy he was traded for (Jax).

If he can stay healthy good things will happen. Also, ESPN's updated rosters show the Bucks only have 1 sf. and 1 sg. ( Jax/ Delfino). I am absolutely positive Dunleavy can overtake Delfino and might possibly start for the Bucks.

if healthy--- 30 mpg 15/4/4

Opposing team's small forward - 40/7/7

Danny and Paul should have some big games against the Bucks.

he's a very smart player and while he plays a lot of 2 he is legitimately close to 6'10". he doesn't have the speed of the 6'2" guys but he'll find the open spot and make the back door cut. he lost a year to injury and I'm not sure he was back completely last year but if all of that is now behind him the Bucks will be very pleasantly surprised. if O'B were still our coach, I think he would have fought hard to resign Mike.

Smart player. Streaky shooter. Fairly adept at moving without the basketball and curling off screens, although he's no Reggie Miller. Exceptional passer and handling ability for his size. Will hit crazy "h-o-r-s-e" shots from time to time.

Not a good one-on-one defender, but won't kill you either. Good understanding of defensive schemes and will draw charges as a "team defender". Can be soft.

Overall, for the money involved, I thought it was a pretty good signing for the Bucks.
