It’s just dunks and blocks, got anything else?

Vincent Poirier international stats:

21.2 mpg ...
61.4% FG ...
62.8% FT ...
9.1 pts,
6.2 reb,
1.1 ast,
1.2 blk

34 games played


Not sure how this compares to his peers in that league.

I think that his Spanish League numbers.

He had better stats against better competition in the Euroleague:

78.8 FG percentage?? 

good to see two 15 rebound games and assists as well

So, he didn't want to sign with us in April to "sit the bench", even though we had a chance to do damage in the playoffs.  So, what happens if Timelord beats him out for playing time?  The only things I see him doing in the highlights (dunking and blocking shots) are things Timelord has mastered too.  So, with this guy be a locker room problem if that happens?  Or will nobody understand his French grumbling anyway? 

Well ... with Horford, Baynes, Theis gobbling up majority of the mins

Poirier probably thought he wasn't going to be used much

Different story now

For example if Kanter runs into foul trouble quickly .... and the opposing center is having a field day/open things up under the basket....  having a center with size, length and mobility like Poirier as a backup, helps stop/slow down the bleeding

I would think so too. But it’s not implausible to think that he gets Theis minutes from last year and is not happy in that role.

Can he shoot? Pass? All it shows is him slamming the ball..big whoop, all big can slam in NBA

shot 80 plus at the FT line and also had several assists

no 3s though

Kanter, Theis, Poirier seems like an okay result based on the Celtics limited resources to shore up their big man rotation.

I did see 2 mid range jump shots in that video. I wonder if they were the only 2 he shot all year!

The way he hesitated and set up for the one mid-range jumper I saw before I got bored with the dunks, I think maybe they were.

He didn’t want to leave his team before their playoffs to sit on the bench in our playoffs.  That seems not unreasonable.  Regardless, if the Celtics were turned off by his rejection in April one would presume they would not have pursued him in June and July to be a backup.  As they have, I think it’s safe to conclude that they have no problems, so I don’t think we should worry based off one interview with something that potentially got lost in translation.

I just watched this video. He seems to dunk and block shots with his left hand but shoot with his right.

Has a decent enough stroke BTW...

It's cool that the Celts now have a decided Euro flavor to their frontcourt.  Feel like it's been a while since the Celts had a lot of overseas guys in the rotation.
