WALTHAM – For a couple months, Brazilian center Vitor Faverani -- AKA "El Hombre Indestructible" -- was the Boston Celtics' mystery man.

The team agreed to a three-year deal with the 25-year-old big man back in July. But since then, few details (and even viewer quality images or videos) concerning Faverani had emerged.

According to Kevin Pelton via synergy, opponents scored 56.8 percent of the time in the post against Vitor last season.  Not knowing anything about him, I was hoping he could be the solid defensive center this team lacks and which he alone has the size to fulfill but it's not looking like it.  On the plus side, he was very good scoring from the post.  He's not much of an outside shooter so for anyone like me who was really tired of watching so many pick and pop big men (besides Garnett, who could also be devastating in the post), he might be a refreshing change.

I'm not that worried, if he wants to play here, he will have to perform better defensively. We won't be letting him play if he doesn't step up on that side of the court, Stevens has said that a strong focus will be on defense... if I'm not mistaken, he said defense will be what bonds us! So he better lay some bombs on people if he can't do anything else... Danny said Vitor welcomes contact and rough play, something about him being the one looking to rough it up. Better bust some heads til the white meat shows (RIP BM)!

With those love handles it looks like he's coming in to play nose tackle.

I wonder if the C's could loan him to the Pats for a couple of month.s

I'm hoping Danny was referring to Basketball.

The posted article does no justice of how funny the actual interview was:
