Coach Doc Rivers has always liked the way that Pierce Daniels plays. Apparently Pierce likes the Boston Celtics too. Pierce turned down better offers to sign with the Celtics because he thinks that they have a good chance to win an NBA championship. The Celtics thinks that Pierce Daniels is a competent point guard that is very capable of backing up the starter Rajan Rondo. He is ranked as the teams second best backcourt defender. He worked on his defense when he entered the NBA to earn more minutes.
