After one offseason hopefully he will have the kind of body that won't be moved around easily. 

I don't get this.  Last year he was preparing for a) the draft and b) his rookie year.  Both of those are way more incentive to get in shape then improvement from his rookie to sophomore year.

  He'll get a summer training regimen from the Celts conditioning guy. They'll probably monitor his progress as well.

hard to argue against drafting at this point.  wasn't a fan of picking him at draft time but have warmed up to him since summer league and especially the past couple of months when he started playing with more confidence.  KO looks like a legit rotation-quality big right now.

I knew KO would do well wherever he was drafted- glad it was Boston. Was really surprised OKC didn't grab him with the 12th pick.

Really looking forward to watching Kelly develop. He plays so well with Rondo and Pressey because he knows where to be on the floor and his pick and pop game is only going to get better.

His pick and roll game's not too shabby either.  He doesn't finish above the rim with athleticism, but he's a very good finisher.  He knows how to move through the lane, he's got a nice touch around the rim, very good balance, good footwork (he always seems to go up in stride off the correct foot), and a heck of a lot of finesse and cleverness.
