I have never been much of a Celtics fan and I am decidedly less so today. I must admit that briefly watching a replay of the TV versions of one of the local sports radio shows (Felger & Mazz) that originally aired yesterday afternoon before the draft yielded this great line from Tony Massaroti:
"that's it, I want the Celts to draft the worst athlete [Sullinger] and the dumbest guy [Melo] - that'll be great for talk radio"

And they drafted Kris Joseph, too. Gotta love the Celtic-Boeheim connection.
Taking off my purple and gold colored glasses, I like the Sullinger pick for the Celtics. As long as his back holds up, I think he'll help them. So he isn't the greatest athlete. I don't recall Bird and Magic being great athletes, and they worked out ok (and please, don't anyone say I'm comparing Sullinger to Bird or Magic; the point is that this kid has first rounder basketball skills).

Who will sign his contract for him? Based on what I know about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Fab Melo knows how to make his mark.
