The Boston Celtics announced today that the club has signed free agent center/forward Shelden Williams to a contract.  Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Williams, a 6’9”, 250 lbs center/forward, was originally drafted with the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks.  The former Duke Blue Devil has posted career averages of 4.7 points and 4.2 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game.  After being acquired by the Minnesota Timberwolves from the Sacramento Kings on February 19, 2009, he appeared in 15 games for his new team and averaged 4.9 points and 5.0 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game.
InsideHoops.com editor says: I haven’t seen that Williams is a particularly good backup yet. Usually I’m able to at least say that a guy helps a team’s bench. I’m not saying that isn’t the case with Shelden, but he hasn’t really shown much so far. Still, he’s a young player and hopefully still improving.

One down.

BBD, Marquis and a possible PG left to go!

Edit: Now The Globe also reports it

I think this was a very good pickup. A fifth big who's big and rebounds and plays D.
