Dont know if this has been posted or not.

10:19am: A source tells Jay King of MassLive.com that there is no agreement at this point between Iverson and the Celtics, despite the fact that the seven-footer wants a shot to play in the NBA.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that Iverson and the C’s won’t eventually finalize a deal — Pick’s report didn’t materialize out of thin air, so it seems likely that the two sides are talking. We’ll pass along any updates as they become available.

8:51am: Three years after landing him on draft night, the Celtics have agreed to a deal with big man Colton Iverson, according to international basketball reporter David Pick (Twitter link). It’s not clear if there’s any guaranteed money included on Iverson’s deal, which will bring him to camp with the C’s.

Well, I guess he'll be in camp with us.  I highly doubt he makes the team, but it's nice that he's getting a chance

Plus, because we signed him, if/when he gets released he'll be a FA and have the ability to sign with any NBA team, so that will give him a better shot of actually making the NBA at some point

Too bad he didn't play on out SL team, we could have used a bruiser

TP for the find
I'm bitter.

Eh, not expecting that much. I mean he hasn't really done anything to make him anything more than 3rd string big man, and we got plenty of big men who should easily take Colton Iverson's minutes.

another camp practice player.  I wonder how much he'll get paid for that.

I'd like to see all of the young boys given a good shot at minutes.  We need rebounding like a druggie needs a fix.

Won't be a problem.  He averaged 5.8 rebounds per game in Europe.

Could you provide me (us) with his full stats (points, assists, minutes played, blocks, fouls, etc)?

Thanks much,

The last time Colton Iverson was a "young boy" was perhaps 5 years ago.

He's 27 now.

57% FT shooting is approaching Deandre / Drummond level of ineptitude.   :(

Given that those two shoot 42% and 38% for their careers, respectively -- no, it isn't even close to approaching anything like this. If you want perspective, itt's comparable to Kendrick Perkins.

On a scale of 100, I think it is fair to say that 57 is approaching 42.

It's difficult for me to imagine Iverson -- a poor man's Cole Aldrich, at best -- making the team.

But it's cool they're giving him a shot in training camp.
