Daniel Theis?? A new Celtic

[wiley]

The video linked on the front page starts with him blocking three shots in a row on the same play, which made me feel pretty good until I realized the guy he was repeatedly stuffing was Zizic.

Haha!  Zizic can get his revenge in practice...

Wouldn't mind having him on the bench instead of Mickey.

From the replies in the same twitter:

"Center is nice. He plays Center with a PF skillset in a SF body...."

[CELTICSofBOSTON]

D-league two-way contract?

How much was he getting paid overseas?

Kevin Durant?


in all honesty, looks like an ultra-cheap bench big... really clearing a lot of cap space here..

[bigal534]

Training camp depth?


Long shot to make team?

To be honest 1 youtube video in and the guy has a ton of skill.

Actual game film is best to watch but hes got game. Even though we havent heard of him.

German National team player. Puts up good numbers. Stroke is nice.

Looks very solid to me.

Reported by David Pick - reliable source

European "sources", reliable or not, do not understand (or choose to ignore) the concept of training camp contract with limited or no guarantees. You'll typically see European publications raising hell about player X being "[insert NBA team name here] bound", which in essence means he's received an invitation for Summer League team that obviously comes with some sort of contract. More often than not these guys don't even make it through to the second SL leg and get sent home, where there agents are able to milk this for a better contract.

So the fact that someone named Daniel Theis might be around in an unnamed jersey for several weeks this summer should cause you to lose no sleep whatsoever over his NBA prospects. I'd be shocked if he isn't back in Europe by the time October rolls around. That is all.

Cheaper bench big signing. Probably to replace KO and/or JJ once we sign Hayward or make a trade for a max-level player.

Will not be on the roster come October.

C'mon, Koz, don't be like this:

i just found this article. theis was the defensive player of the year for his league.

watch the first video. he completely owns zizic, completely.

his offense is put backs and 3s.

i love this guys hustle and hard, physical play. i have no idea whether he will make the team. but he looks to be a good, cheap bench player.

enjoy!

Shot .410 on 3s last year but only 1.3 attempts... Looks like a cheap Amir replacement. Just under 1 steal, 1 block, 1 assist per game. AST-.8 STL-.6-BLK-.8. only played 19 minutes per game. Looks little like Willy Hernangomez...
