[剪報] Cooking up Baker support
Cooking up Baker support
Walker feels addition a plus
By Shira Springer, Globe Staff, 6/11/2003
Antoine Walker does not want Vin Baker to worry about being accepted back
into the Celtics' fold. The cocaptain said the players will welcome back
Baker for training camp in the fall. He hopes the fans will do the same
and the coaches will put Baker in a position to succeed.
Before Baker was suspended by the team last February, Walker was his
strongest supporter. Now, with Baker having completed an alcohol
rehabilitation program, Walker remains his strongest supporter on the
team.
''I think it's going to be fine for us,'' said Walker. ''I think the
biggest thing is the coaches and the organization have got to put him
back in the fray.
''When you think about building this team, you don't really hear his name.
I think that they've got to understand that they've got to put him back in
his place. Obviously, he's got to earn it.
''Hopefully, the fans welcome him back the way he needs to be welcomed
back because he can be a big addition to our team. Vinnie can play at a
very high level. We can definitely use the big body.''
Walker hopes Baker can earn the minutes that will allow him to make
significant contributions. And that may mean lineup changes.
''I don't think Vin's a center,'' said Walker. ''I think the East is small,
but he's not a center. He's more of a power forward. Maybe we have to change
up our lineup a little bit, adjust some things for him, make it more
comfortable for him to where he can be effective.''
