Chris Lofton says he wants to join the Celtics Summer League team

[MBz]

He's an off guard, if Eddie House stays then Lofton has no use to the Celtics.  I was a big Lofton fan when he was in college, but he's a poor man's Eddie House and would have no use for the Celtics.  If House leaves, maybe I'd bring him in, but I'd rather have a veteran replace House, not a guy who has not shown anything to play in the NBA.

Summerleague team?  Absolutely.  He was an incredibly clutch player in college, and is just a winner.  I don't know if he has NBA talent, but you could certainly have worse players on your summerleague team.

on draftexpress they had a write up on lofton.

fabulous 3 pt shooter and scorer.

but on 6'2" and not quick enough to defend at the nba level.

i dont know if he would be as good as house.

At best, he's a clone of Eddie House who can actually dribble the ball.  At worst, he's not an NBA player.

He's definitely worth a shot in the summer league, and personally I would love to see this kid make it.  In terms of character, they don't make them any better than Chris Lofton, and it would be a great story.

I think he is much closer to JR Bremer than House, however, he seems like a real good kid, and a winner, so it wouldn't be terrible to give him a look.
