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. PLAYER NEWS:
--F Glen Davis, a restricted free agent, is still very much on the Celtics' radar. The club is hoping he signs an offer sheet with another team that is easy for them to match. The Nets reportedly have interest in Davis.
--G Lester Hudson had a pin inserted to help heal his broken finger. The Celtics' draft pick suffered the injury during summer league. He has yet to sign with the team and may consider going overseas.
--F J.R. Giddens performed very well for the Celtics during summer league and may have passed Bill Walker on the depth chart. Though Walker was a lower draft pick in the summer of 2008, he was well ahead of Giddens last season.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--F Leon Powe (left ACL surgery) will continue to rehab with the Celtics unless they elect to let him be an unrestricted free agent.
--F Kevin Garnett (sore right knee) had successful surgery on his right knee on May 28. He is expected to be ready to play well before training camp.
