Sam Vincent

Boston Celtics
6-2 185 Guard

Part of Boston's "Learn While You Earn" program for most rookies... Was drafted 20th overall in 1985, out of Michigan State, but averaged fewer than eight minutes per game and sat out 25 altogether... Salary this season is only $75,000... Received $37,000 bonus to sign last season... He'll get total of $380,000 next year... Was 65 of 70 from free-throw line for .929 mark... Takes streak of 22 straight into this season... Born May 18, 1963, in Lansing, Mich.... considered the best point guard in 1985 draft, he has plenty of time to develop, if he doesn't get impatient... Thinking about guaranteed playoff share every year might help.
