We know that Rick Pitino once compared Bruce Bowen to John Havlicek, with the only difference--according to Pitino-- being that Hondo possessed a jump shot, while Bowen did not. Since Bowen can now score from range, does that make him bound for the Hall? Probably not. We also know that the fates of JR Giddens, Bill Walker, and Bruce Bowen may somehow be connected. What I had forgotten was that "Hondo Sans the J" also wore #12 here.
How convenient if the current #12 departed to make room for a 6-8 former Celtic that more closely resembles James Posey than he does one of the greatest basketball players ever to play the game.
