Rookie big men have an immediate impact

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport

Celtics president Danny Ainge operations, said after the draft Thursday in the first round of the NBA JaJuan Johnson was easily the best player available when the selection of Boston, but that there is a low-post presence - something the C are in short supply these days - had to be as rewarding as the fact that Johnson still was available.

Currently, Kevin Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal are the only guarantees great to see the list of next season with Shaquille O'Neal to retire, Russia, Nenad Krstic Bolt and Glen Davis ready to test unrestricted free agency. Given the current state of the area in front of the Celtics, much of the conversation last Thursday, the possible impact of the upcoming season by Johnson. Ainge said he thinks Johnson can for a place in the team to compete at once - whatever E'Twaun Moore of the 6-foot guard, said 4-C 55-inch overall pick caught - but he got coach of the Celtics, Doc Rivers a reputation as a captain, who, for supply of a young player with many possibilities.

Part of this is that the championship caliber teams, young players are often not willing to do on a consistent basis. For its part, the river is still unclear how much Johnson will bring to the table the next season.


Depending on how the season shakes, Johnson could be forced to take a role that is required to immediately accept a contribution, like Davis and recently experienced Semih earth during their rookie campaigns be. Earth started seven games last year by C, while the likes of Kendrick Perkins O'Neal and two treated for various injuries.

There are many things that hinder the chances of the Celtics big men, in order to free agency and trade. The current collective agreement expires at the end of the month, and no matter what the new rules, it seems, it is almost certain that Boston is not much, if any, of the salary cap to sign quality free agents.
Above all, the list so exhausted by the time (only Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, Garnett and Avery Bradley under contract), the C is not a lot of valuable corporate resources.

Ready or not, Johnson could be thrown directly into the fire.

The fact that Johnson has four years of college experience under his belt should help his cause. It's a sportsman, defensive minded big man (he averaged 2.3 blocks per game during his senior season), the current Big Ten Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year is. Rivers was as if he had showed great maturity in his project, training sessions, which will be derived from four seasons of competition in a conference said.

I mean, of course, many children and many older people tend to start to be better in many respects,  said Rivers.

He needs to learn how the NBA. [Purdue] had a run in the NBA in offensive, so I think in this way, it fit well. It is a confidence is shot.

Ainge said he has higher expectations for Johnson and Moore in their rookie season than him to Avery Bradley, who the Celtics with the 19th Choice in the 2010 draft selected. Bradley was only 19 when the Celtics opened training camp last season and was forced to sit while recovering from surgery on his left ankle, which delays its immediate development.

But recent trends suggest to limited minutes, at least for the holder of Moore. Ask JR Giddens (8 minutes in six games in his rookie season) or Bill Walker (216 minutes in 29 games) or Bradley (162 minutes, 30 games). Heck, even before Luke Harangody, who was fourth-year player from Notre Dame, appeared for only 241 minutes in 28 games last season before playing in Cleveland at the trade deadline (not to be nearly three times as many minutes just traded 21 appearances).

Johnson can break the trend of the Rookie? Follow the example of other big men like Davis and earth? Only time will tell how long to sign it in the coming season.
