Celtics Sign Former Duke Star
August 4, 2009 by Nick Gelso
Boston.com reported today that Boston has signed power forward, Sheldon Williams. At 6’9, the Duke all-time leader in rebounds and blocked shots will add length and strength to a reserve front line consisting of the pending Glen Davis and center/forward Rasheed Wallace.
According to Boston.com, Williams will be signed to a one year, veteran’s minimum ($1.306 million) deal.
I like the idea of signing the former Duke star. Though he has shown little in the pros, we know he has the ability to make an impact based upon his career with the Blue Devil’s.
Let’s face it, anything is an upgrade from Mikki Moore who proved to be a disappointing stand in for 2008, late season addition, P.J. Brown.
Danny Ainge, who at this point last year, had made no deals to bring depth and had already lost James Posey, has done a solid job of revamping the C’s bench.
