Subject: [Celtics' Stuff ] trading down? Date: June 26, 2006 2:19:24 PM EDT To: Celticsstuffgroup@yahoogroups.com From Eric Pincus From draft x www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=1374 The Celtics had two workouts conducted this morning and 7 total players in. The early morning session had Marcus Williams, Cedric Simmons, Nik Caner-Medley and Wes Wilkinson, while the 2nd workout featured Rajon Rondo, Randy Foye, and Cedric Simmons and Caner-Medley working out for a 2nd time. The Celtics decided to roll out the new balls the NBA will start using next year, which threw off the shooting of most of the players at the workout. Rajon Rondo might have had the best workout of all the players, as he “shot the ball solid, got to the basket at will, showed off his athleticism, and was extremely aggressive throughout.” Marcus Williams did not shoot the ball as well as he normally does in these settings, but showed good decision making skills in the many competitive drills that the Celtics ran for them. The Celtics scraped many of their standard drills and instead tried to simulate many game-type settings for the players, doing more 2 on 2 and 1 on 1 than they usually do, but with odd twists. Kevin McHale was reportedly in attendance, presumably to get one last look in at Randy Foye.

I think Ainge is really looking hard at Cedric Simmons, just in case that Shelden Williams and Randy Foye are gone. I'm not sure he's a top 7 player, but he has a rugged body, solid athleticism, and a good motor.
Rajon could be a possibility too, but probably not at 7. I think Marcus Williams has a chance, but ultimately if both Foye and Marcus are available at 7, Ainge goes for Foye.
