I think this kid would be a nice body for the end of the bench. He's long, can crash the glass, finish strong, nice little handle for a big man, and he blocks shots.

We could definitely get him for the minimum. Plus Him, Ray, and Donny can talk about how sick UCONN is.

Nah, I actually think we ought to keep Shelden around as the 5th big.  He's worked pretty well in that capacity this year and I think he'll only get better with more experience in our system.

I've watched enough of his games to say, he stinks. Just go ask Hornets fans.

Not an NBA player.

Poor-to-very poor defensively + poor-to-very poor rebounder + poor finisher around the rim

I agree with the last few comments; he'd be a waste of a roster space.  I'd rather have Shelden back.

Armstrong is also very turnover prone for a guy who touches the ball as little as he does.

No way, guys.  Let's all jump firmly on the bandwagon (quick-someone get a bandwagon) to bring a New England favorite home to the favorite team of his youth, a player that grew up watching Larry Bird's mastery, who was raised in the tradition of Celtics Pride:

Bring home Concord, NH native

MATT BONNER!!!

I would rather bring back Scal.

I would take Scal's superior defense over Bonner's better rebounding.

That said, I would rather have Singleton over both of those guys.
