Colton Iverson heading overseas?

[TA9]

Well it seems like we wont enjoy Iverson playing for us this season, according to the Boston Herald:

The blockbuster trade that is now in place between the Celtics and Nets could translate into significant opportunity for younger players. With that in mind, the Celtics hurriedly assembled their team for the Orlando Summer League, which begins on July 7. In addition to last year's rookie center, Fab Melo, 2013 first round pick Kelly Olynyk, and second rounder Colton Iverson, a seven-footer from Colorado State, the Celtics have signed Missouri point guard Phil Pressey to a free agent contract. The team will only have a short time with Iverson, who reportedly plans to play in Europe next year, though the Celtics hold his rights. Boston Herald

Personally I think it is weird because I dont think he can develop his game much more, due to the fact that he just turned 24 today, he could prove me wrong tho.

To the guys that arent familiar with this fella, here is a video showing what this guy is capable of doing;

Great shooter for his size.

Ill have to find where i found it, i thought it said he will go overseas if he doesn't make this years roster

Its a threat to make a decision on iverson fast and not drag it until end of pre season before he is cut. And who can blame iverson also, he needs to get his career going.

It will be interesting to see how he does vs melo.

Iverson will go to Boston on Sunday, then immediately head to Orlando for summer league. Pensack said summer league will give a better indication of Iverson’s fit. He said the absolute worst-case scenario is that Iverson doesn’t make the team and goes overseas for a year before returning.
