Praise for Posey

Celtics GM Danny Ainge had high praise for swingman James Posey, who has provided stability off the Boston bench this season. Posey has averaged 6.5 points and 3 rebounds for the C’s, but Ainge said his value can’t be measured on stats.

“He’s our Tedy Bruschi,” Ainge said of Posey. “He’s our Jason Varitek. He’s not an extremely talented player, but he has all the intangibles.”

Paul Pierce said Posey is one of the last players to leave the gym when the Celtics practice.
