Among the attendees: Second-year players Glen "Big Baby" Davis and Gabe Pruitt, along with first-round draft pick JR Giddens. Stroll through our gallery to see who else is in town for the event.
The Celtics will hold a minicamp for 16-20 players at their Waltham training facility from Wednesday through Saturday. Celtics forward Glen Davis, guard Gabe Pruitt, and first-round draft pick J.R. Giddens are expected to participate, as are ex-NBA players center Jackie Butler, forward Lawrence Roberts, and guards David Noel, Omar Cook, and Mustapha Shakur. ]
Randolph Morris - Kentucky
David Hawkins - Temple
Omar Cook - St. Johns....this kid was very good should of stayed in college instead of declaring after one year
Eddie Basden - UNC Charlotte
Brian Butch - Wisconsin
Are these all the players invited? Any others? Maybe Chris Andersen?
But I would've thought there would be a few more slightly bigger names, with only Jackie Butler having a chance of making our roster (as well as our rooks and sophs of course) IMO.
But again, I don't really know much about anyone from that list-can anyone give us a brief look at the player?
The name that jumps out at me is Randolph Morris. He is an incredibly talented big man, who has made some bad decisions about his future, and it has really hurt his development. He is a legit center with good athleticism, and some skills. I think he could be a very good player in a few years...just probably not there yet.
Brian Butch is also an interesting player. He always reminded me a bit of Brian Cardinal in college (although not as good). He is a very toughnosed player, who can shoot a little bit, but mostly gets by on his energy rather than his talent.
