As Boston prepares to take on Philadelphia in their first preseason game on Wednesday, Coach Doc Rivers has been pleasantly surprised with rookie Bill Walker, according to the Associated Press.

"He's not your typical rookie that thinks he's got it figured out already," Rivers said. "He really isn't. He knows he has some catching up to do, but he's been a pleasant surprise."

"He attacks the basket, too, and will live on the foul line. He's got to work on his ball handling a little bit, but if he comes off the cuts, he's going to live on the foul line."
