He's Back!  Yes, we all know about MJ, but what about DC?  Derrick Coleman was one of the NBA's most untradeable players last season, and not because of his dominance in ballgames.  He was overweight, unmotivated, and often injured.  He showed up at training camp this season looking like a new man; slim, slick and dominant.  Against the Boston Celtics yesterday Coleman showed he still has his NBA game.

"He played a lot of minutes and was very active and proficient in the rebounding," said Silas, who called Coleman?s effort his best of the preseason.

So how good was Coleman?  Starting in the place of the injured Elden Campbell, Coleman's line read 13 points, 15 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots in 28 minutes.  Not bad for a player the team couldn't give away.  Now if only the Celtics could get the same out of Kenny Anderson.
