daniel theis

[rollie mass]

He seems to have elite wingspan probably a high standing reach-good motor and vertical and has defensive DNA
I have watched his highlites a lot of dunks a few mid range and a couple of threes
I know he was a free agent and there must have been some cross scouting
He seems from memory to have short neck so maybe he plays much bigger than his height measurement-
What is behind this with roster spots so critical.?
Now he has to adjust to speed of game,is he here to keep zizic company?
I looked for some explanation but couldn't find one

[ederson]

It's a Hail Mary.....
Cheap defensive minded pf/c.

[Surferdad]

Like you rollie, I watched the youtube highlights and saw mostly dunks off lob passes with an occasional jumpshot mixed in...not much to go on, though he does seem pretty agile.  I really doubt it has anything to do with Zizic who is Croatian and Theis is a German...guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in training camp.

That is hilarious Rollie..... a short neck? That is definitely a new measurement that I haven't seen yet. Maybe we can stretch it? TP for the laugh.

[rollie mass]

hey some people have long necks adds to their height but not to standing reach-glad i made you laugh-maybe it was angle of shot but i remember thinking he neck looked short-
-now i.m laughing  TP back at ya.but their are guys with short necks -no neck newie a collector back in book making days ,and football player /doorman in disco days that knocked my tooth out -a lineman

i dare you look up chris bosch look how long his neck is-i hate being laughed at but laughed with is a different story

marcus morris has 2 inch better standing vertica- and 2 inch greater max vertical
the celtics got the better jumper

Walt "no neck" Williams.

[CelticsElite]

Thought is a good 3 pt shooter. Actually pretty much everyone we added minus allen this off season are good at the 3

[tarheelsxxiii]

This guy should be the focus of a lot of great prop bets among Celtics fans this season.

So, Theis is nice?  Dude made Zizic look like Charles Smith.

A German and a Croatian walked into the Balkans...

I always thought that Bosh would be the perfect mascot for the Raptors given that he doesn't even need a costume to do the job.

You may laugh, but my neck plays a big part in my height. Probably adds an extra inch or so. A short neck probably means the rest of his body is longer

Literally the first highlight I watched of him was him blocking Zizic three times in a row in EuroLeague.

Could very well have been cross-scouting involved.
