Tough Call on Kenny Anderson

The Boston Herald's Mark Cofman writes about one of the Celtics' main training camp questions. What direction do they take with Kenny Anderson? While the oft-injured Anderson may be the most talented point guard on the team, the starting position may go to Milt Palacio. Palacio took over the starter's position by default last season, but will be coming into training camp in the best condition of his career after working out with Paul Pierce this summer.

Kofman also looks at Derek Anderson's short stay with San Antonio, and in particular his tempestuous departure. "My loyalty is with the people who are going to be loyal to me," said Anderson, not hiding his displeasure with San Antonio management. "I don't buy into the, 'Aw, it's a business, people lie to you.' "

Pencil Johnson in as Starter

The Boston Herald's Mark Coffman says you can pencil rookie Joe Johnson in as the Celtics' starting shooting guard. Johnson will give the team a reasonable third scoring option, something they didn't have last season. The Celtics are not bringing back any of the competion. The last player to fall off their list is Bryant Stith. The C's have offered him a one-year contract, but both sides know it won't be accepted. The Celtics probably will keep their 15th roster spot open for the next while so they have greater roster flexibility.
