Baby Complaining

[Jevi]

He's Not That Good

Glen Davis is a career six-point, four-rebound player.

Generously listed at 6'9" (Davis is more than likely considerably shorter), Davis has put up impressive numbers during the last two postseasons when injuries, combined with other players' (Rasheed Wallace) ineptitude, caused him to take on a more prominent role with the team.

Davis plays an important role on the Celtics, and his energy gives the Celtics a solid spark off the bench. He has a consistent mid-range jumper and is not afraid to wrestle inside with players bigger than him.

With that being said, however, Glen Davis is not a very good player.

His lack of height creates mismatches on the defensive end of the floor, and his inability to get inside often makes him a one-dimensional player.

Over 40 percent of Davis' attempts last year were jump shots, and Davis' net productivity while on the court was negative.

Consequently, Davis has never shot 50 percent from the field, and he is fairly expendable when he is not knocking down his jump shot....which is often.

A player like Davis, who during his first season in the NBA fell into the role of spark plug off the bench for a championship team, should be more appreciative of his role and not question the strategy of the Celtics coaching staff.

At the end of the day, Big Baby simply isn't good enough to be making demands.

Let me explain something to everyone about Glen Davis... He is a big, high energy guy and everyone loves having a player like that on their team. But Davis is a big ball of useless energy. He runs around fouling and knocking people over and it does nothing for the team. The Celtics offense always dies when Davis comes in the game and it's frustrating to watch. If you want a big guy that runs around knocking people over, the Celtics could go get some football players.

I don't know who wrote this, but I understand.

Jevi, this is getting old. It's time to let it go.

Big Baby AWESOME tonight. Both the chat mods on the NBA website running game commentary tonight said he is good enough to be a starter on a good team now. Who knows, in a year or two, Celtics may decide to keep him for just that.

Hope so. He may have his limitations, but the man is compensating for them big time.

I agree.
And the man can dance!
On and off the court.
