PLAYER NEWS: --G/F Tony Allen has been taking it lightly during the early part of training camp. He's still feeling some effects of offseason surgery on his right ankle. --F Bill Walker left camp after the first day to have his right knee examined. He's already had two major surgeries on the knee, and it started bothering him again two weeks before training camp.
--G Lester Hudson signed a one-year contract on the day before camp. The second-round draft pick is getting a minimal guarantee. He's looked good at the point early on.
DRAFT PICK:
Lester Hudson, G, 6-3, Tennessee-Martin (second round, No. 58 overall) -- Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year in his junior and senior years. Set conference scoring record in senior year. Second in the nation (27.5 ppg) behind Stephen Curry. There have been comparisons to Eddie House, but the Celtics think he can handle the ball much better and, thus, play the point. They had him rated much higher than this spot.
