		<description>I like Pruitt&#039;s size at point guard (6&#039;4&quot;) but I don&#039;t think Danny or Doc trusts him, which is why they brought in Stephon Marbury. This team is desperately trying to collect as many titles as possible right now. Ken you&#039;re right, they&#039;re willing to sacrifice player development to do it...</description>

		<description>Pruitt certainly hasn&#039;t gotten a fair shot, and he looks downright timid to me whenever he plays.  I&#039;m reminded, though, of a guy named Joe Johnson who also wasn&#039;t given a fair shot when he was just starting out with the Celts, and who also looked somewhat timid.  Who knows what lies within the heart of a player who isn&#039;t given a real chance to show his stuff?

I think it&#039;s a basic flaw in the Celtic&#039;s system- win all games at all costs and forget about properly developing rookies with meaningful floor time.  Rondo, of necessity, was an exception to that rule, but I fear that last year&#039;s crop of rookies (Giddens and Walker) might well disappear without a real chance, and end up as stars with some other team.

I agree with Geoff - Pruitt will likely be long gone before next season, at least as a Celtic.</description>
