The Professional
Leon "The Show" Powe is looking like yet another second round steal for the C's. He has been giving his all and showing that he belongs in the last couple of games. Thankfully, he has a fan in Paul Pierce who will hopefully lobby for Powe to leapfrog Brian Scalabrine on the depth chart. While I'm a huge opponent of the small ball lineup, I think a smaller froncourt of Big Al and Powe or Gomes and Powe could work in limited minutes. With Theo being brittle and Perkins being a foul magnet, Doc is going to have to mix and match in the frontcourt and, personally, I'd like to see how Powe and Big Al/Gomes can handle themselves rather than deal with Kandiman getting significant minutes. Powe's emergence also will hopefully shift Danny's focus away from adding a PF like Boozer. The Celtics either need a center or a better all-around small forward. Tony Allen's disappointing play of late has knocked him down the depth chart, which is problematic since he was supposed to emerge as our best defensive player at the wing. With rumors of a deal on the horizon, let's hope Danny addresses our weaknesses instead of adding to our strengths.
