Celts sign undrafted center Pittsnogle

[R Howe]

I have not seen the guy play, but I have been hoping that Danny would bring in a good shooting Big to eventually replace lafrentz when he was here and now to actually replace him. I hope your report on his ability to shoot is accurate and if so that it translate s to the NBA. To me one of the biggest holes on our team now is our PF/C rotation do not possess the shooting ability to draw the other teams bigs away from the middle like LaFrentz and to a certain extent sour puss Blunt did. If Pnogle can replace what Lafrentz did in limited minutes and if Gomes develops a reliable mid range jumper then the middle can open up for our super penetrating and dishing PGs. also might open the floor a bit for Pierce.

  I actually like Pittsnogle. He played in a motion offense at West
Virginia, has legitimate center size, and can really -- I mean REALLY --
shoot the ball. I think he has a little Brad Miller in him. He needs to
rebound better, but he has the kind of shot that has to be respected.
And he's not one of those slow-release shooters you see so often with
big guys. He has a really quick release.

I think this is a guy who can help as a backup center. Do I think he's
any kind of savior? Absolutely not. But I like this signing.

... to a 2-year deal. 

Hey, we were all hoping we'd sign another big, weren't we?
Well here he is. Chris Wallace just loves West Virginia guys.

I give up; I really do.
