15. Boston-Al Jefferson -- 6.9 ppg, 4.8 rpg, .3 apg

After demolishing the competition in Mississippi high schools, Jefferson has played well when healthy for Boston. A powerful player in the pivot, the second half should be an interesting one as he continues to share minutes up front with Raef LaFrentz and Mark Blount. (Grade-B+)

24. Boston-Delonte West -- 3.0 ppg, 1.0 apg

West has been battling injuries all season, just now getting healthy, and has seen little time on the floor. (Grade-incomplete)

25. Boston-Tony Allen -- 6.4 ppg, 2.9 rpg, .9 apg

The former Oklahoma St. star has worked his way into the starting lineup with his hustle and defense. Allen shoots a good %, and is an effective thief, sitting second in the NBA in steals per 48 minutes. (Grade-B)

Thanks BC - I missed this report.
I agree with te report as is. These last 27 games will open some eye around the league, I bet... Eyes on Boston and the young studs.

Time to focus on the team, rather than Ainge, Doc or AW, IMO.

Johnny
IMO = In my opinion.
Some poster give IMHO = in my honest opinion.
The way I see it, if your honest, you don't need to say so.

Amazing how the article listed Lefty ahead of Tony Allen even though Allen was the one having a better first year and making the All-Star team, and then a few days later, Lefty proves that the ranking is correct by putting up 17 pts and 16 pts in back to back games. I guess the writer had a hunch

Now it makes sense.
