Rookie Joe Johnson is looking like a solid third option for the Celtics behind Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker.  The Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett makes this assessment as Johnoson nearly pushed his wayward shooting mates past the Bucks in Milwaukee with 23 points on 9-for-12 shooting.

Milwaukee's Ray Allen is the first to mention rookie of the year for Johnson.  "I think he's a real talent," said Allen. "He was steady. He made shots. He stuck with the game. He should have a good shot at Rookie of the Year."
