Big bruiser.
1yr of working on his game overseas.
Hope he has a great Summer League and makes the team.
He loves contact.
He was WWE wrestling some fellow big boys last year and one guard litteraly ran into and bounced off of him.

A scoring threat......we need to keep the radar on but a bruiser who loves to punish penetrators. Man....would love to see some folks ramming into and bouncing off him

I think he will be better than Faverani.  I would rather pay Faverani one more year, and then waive him.  Let Iverson play one more year overseas, then bring him in to replace Faverani.  No room for both on the roster.

A huge bust?  The guy was the 53rd pick in one of the worst drafts in the past two decades.  Expectations should be very, very low.

3rd string center.  Good rebounder, very strong. Very slow. Can't jump.

Not expecting huge results ..... He is bruiser , he'll bust a few chops , hack the crap out of the opponents.     Might be fun .  He'll stand toe to toe with anybody .

But no doubt he will at least play his heart out every minute he is on the court......it just may result in a lot of fouls and some good fights.

Unlike Fab Melo who looked stupid, lazy and lost too....... All at once ...!  Sheeess  what a bum

Jump for what? He's got a 9ft 2inch standing reach.  ??? (He's bigger than Dwightmare btw)

He was a gazzelle compared to Fab last year in Summer league. He was catching rebounds over the heads of other folks and he was passing the ball. Fab comes in and is getting hit in the head by passes missing rebounds and laboring up the court.

C.I. is not an athletic big man but he could put  Dwight Howard on his butt or Cousins or anyone else. He's got like no body fat. Kelly Olynk is having fun eating arms and elbows as we speak

This dude has promise in my eyes. Then again, I'm cup half full and have high hopes for nearly everyone.

I really do love the attitude, toughness and sheer size. Great measurements.

I'd put my money on Colton to surprise some people. I haven't got very high hopes for Faverani, but Colton I am excited to see.

This. But on the Celtics he might be good enough to be the first string center....  ;D 8)

i am not sure how a second round pick can be any sort of bust. we all expect them to fail.

if iverson even makes the team on opening day, he will be defined as a success.

hopefully, he becomes the back up center for the celtics.

I'm a big fan of Iverson as my 3rd string center - long term.

Big, very tough, an enforcer for us. Something we have lacked ever since Perkins left.

You need a starter and a legit 2nd string center in front of him but Iverson could be a good, cheap 3rd string center.

I remember last year in summer league, Andrew Nicholson was "really getting into it with Olynyk" and Olynyk just wasn't strong enough yet. iverson came off the bench and after about two trips up and down the floor, Nicholson was done trying to bang with Colton - he wanted no part of him.

If we make a move for a starting center - I'd be very comfortable with Faverani and Iverson behind that starter, especially when you can also play Olynyk or Sully at center in a pinch if you had to.

Iverson, Faverani, Sully, Marcus Smart, Rondo...

a bunch of "tough guys" - love it. Not dirty, just tough.

I'd say his ceiling is Greg Kite.  Which isn't the worst thing in the world.
