For those of you who haven't read this DraftExpress article, or if you need to read it again, please take a few minutes to do so. Its a terrific look at these 2 PG prospects who could be a Celtic soon. Really good things said about both guys. www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1321I'm really interested in getting Jay Williams. He's a free agent and can sign with a team as soon as July 1st. He's tried out for a number of teams already, and I'm sure a lot of teams are hoping to sign him. He will be trying out for us real soon as well, and if Ainge likes him, I hope he goes after him real hard. Jay is a terrific shooter and is a vocal leader. And since his injury, he's learned to not rely on just his amazing physical gifts, but on being a smarter basketball player.

I prefer Jay as well. I am hoping that Danny goes after him and is able to sign him. That would allow us to draft a big at 7. My dream scenario is turning into drafting Bargnani and signing Jay Williams.
One thing you know about JWill is that he has a tremendous work ethic to come back from the injuries to be able to compete again. You can't teach that kind of work ethic or desire.

Yeah, that's a big thing I want people to realize. Coming all the way back from his near fatal injury and being able to possibly compete against NBA players again just goes to show how much determination he has. To think about the tremendous amount of hours of rehab he had to put in just to be able to walk and run, and then the tremendous amount of time he had to put in to get back into playing shape and regain most of what he's lost really shows how committed he is to playing again. There aren't many players who have this much desire and determination.
If Ainge is sold on Jay Williams, he will not have to draft a PG. He can focus on getting a big with the 7th (maybe Shelden or O'Bryant, or maybe even Sene--if he feels that the upside is too great to pass up).

Yeah, its something that may happen. But you figure we'd have too much players at PG at that point. Marcus, Jay, Delonte, Orien, and Dickau (can't forget about Tony too).
