It's not Sheldon's fault that he was a lottery pick, he is what he is. For those people that raved about what Leon brought, will see the same things from Sheldon. He is a banger down low that will throw his body around, use his fouls, and clean up on the offensive end. In his rookie year when he was given time as a starter for Atlanta, he was a very productive player. In starts during his rookie campaign he averaged close to a double-double in about 27 minutes of averaged time. I understand that he most likely won't receive starter minutes this year but it goes to show you that he can be successful with what he is given...very much like Leon. Giving the Celtics 4 points and 4 rebounds in ten minutes of time, the Celtics will be very happy.
This is a very cheap signing, gives the Celtics more flexibility, and offers another big man in the rotation. All things that we were still looking for, especially if Baby moves on. A very shrewd move by Danny.
