This guy plays for the team and goes all out. I love in the interview how he talked about picking everybody's energy up and sticking to his word about guarding full court the WHOLE game. He was NO MERCY on Nelson. Like killer defensive mentality. When he got that block on him it was like...whoa. Last night was a major turning point in our season and Avery was a major part of it. Great drafting Danny!

Really making progress in his development this year. Especially in the last few weeks, his Defense is as strong as ever, but he is making better passes and his offensive game is definitely improving.

Tony Allen Jr. anyone?

with the present circumstances, i believe he could be a cut higher than tony once was to the celtics, not to demean tony's ability and competitive spirit, bradley's athleticism is so underrated..defense is also superb, just imagine the past weeks, rondo's name has been popping out on trade ideas, why so? DA has seen a gem...a potential...in avery! might not reap the dividends now, but definitely he's getting there..

He is still just a kid basically, guys his age still in college.

Huge improvement , and that unlimited energy to burn , is nice to see in a Celtic.

He races down court most everytime, loves the fast break and this causes the "OLDIES" to play harder.  ::)

I think one reason Rondo walks the ballup court , is becasue as a starter he is playing with a bunch of guys that CAN'T run the court anymore and Doc is probally slowing him down on purpose to account for the tired 35 year olds.  He is basically giving them a break. So , it may not be Rondos fault totally that the play takes so long to develope, he is waiting on the aged group to get in place.

Dooling makes AB look amazing. AB is getting better at setting up plays and knocking down short jumpers to add to his intense defensive skill. I trust him 1000X times more with the ball than Dooling.  Matter fact I'd trust my grandmother over Dool-Nothing.

With all the effort put into bringing him along, would be a sham not to see the result.

He looks comfortable on offense now. The confidence seems to be there, which means less 'I want to get rid of the ball quickly' bad passes.

That pass last night to Stiemsma was a great PG play, though Greg couldn't dunk it in his 0-9 night.
