The best thing is he genuinely looks excited to play for the Celtics, happy that he's healthy, happy to play for Doc etc
You couldn't ask for more
dude's got a nice attitude.. i'm lookin forward to those french threes and french steals, oui?
these are the kind of guys we need in Boston. he understands the Cs history and what is expected in Beantown. he even said something about looking around and seeing the 17 banners. his appreciation for our franchise will go a long way with building chemistry with the vets and trust with management.
as i said the day we signed him, Pietrus will be huge for our team. is he an all-star type talent? only a senile fool would argue that. but he does bring some much needed scoring and outside shooting. on top of that, his defense isn't too shabby. he will allow Doc to sub Ray or PP out with confidence that the replacement can and will produce. i don't think we'll see Pietrus' true value until Doc decides to shorten the rotation and he sees time with 2 or more starters, but his impact will be felt nonetheless.
the guy WANTS to be here and has let that be known. that type of attitude is exactly what an organization wants.
