Does anybody know anything about Wood? I saw right up until draft day that he could go anywhere from 28-45, yet he went undrafted. Also as of a quick search it looks like he hasn't been picked up by anybody for summer league.

I get that the kid was skinny (215, 6'10-6'11'', but the dude had a good wingspan), but usually for someone with his level of upside, someone would at least take a flier. Was there a red flag that anyone has heard of?

I think the Celtics plan to pursue a starting center through free agency or trade and will not be interested in looking at someone like Upshaw until they exhaust their options.

What about Alexander? I'd love to see us have him on our summer league team-then move him to the Maine Red Claws.  Seems like he's had a string of back luck.  But was once a top five recruit.  Yeezers.

Well the great thing is that we can continue to evaluate some of these players and invite them to our Fall Camp ;D
It's like test driving a car.  Let your friend rent it then borrow the keys.

Alexander, Upshaw,  come to papa!
