Les Digits drops Peterson, snaps up Tony Allen
Mo-Peet was amazing in 2005-6 in TOR 17/5, with 2 3s, but regressed in each of the past two years, and now looks to be more or less Keith Bogans. On a per minute basis, he's been only a bit worse, but his minutes have been cut in half. There's no reason to think he'll 'explode' anytime soon, though he's a moderately consistent, low-negative guy, and he still seems to have a starting job, fending off Posey and Rasual Butler.
It's looking like the Celtics are going to blow a lot of teams out this year, and Tony Allen may be the beneficiary. Now that he's two years removed from his knee surgery, he looks a lot faster than last year, and has provided quite a bit of offense off the bench (11PPG), including a 23/5 outing on Sunday. He doesn't shoot 3s (that's Eddie House's job), but he is a good thief and even blocks a shot here and there. He's like a poor, blind man's D-Wade, and like D-Wizzle, is prone to a lot of TOs.
Judgment: Like any 6th man, there will be inconsistency here, but for a point starved Digits squad, TAllen is a recipe for success. We speak from experience, however, when we note that those 20 point lines make him hard to drop, even when he's not producing.
