Celtics summer league roster: Semih Erden on the squad

 

Semih Erden, the C’s 2008 draft pick from Turkey, will be on the Boston Celtics’ summer league roster. Joining him will be 11 other players, including Tony Gaffney, Oliver Lafayette and Luke Harangody. (ESPN Boston)

The Celtics Friday announced their complete roster for the 2010 AirTran Summer League in Orlando:

41 — Jaycee Carroll — G — 6’2″ — 180 — Utah State
50 — Semih Erden — C — 7’0″ — 240 — Turkey
27 — Tony Gaffney — F — 6’8″ — 215 — Massachusetts
45 — Rodney Green — G — 6’5″ — 190 — La Salle
55 — Luke Harangody — F — 6’8″ — 255 — Notre Dame
46 — Matt Janning — G — 6’4″ — 198 — Northeastern
60 — Vyacheslav Kravstov — C — 7’0″ — 270 — Ukraine
40 — Oliver Layafette — G — 6’2″ — 190 — Houston
58 — Art Parkahouski — C — 6’11″ — 260 — Radford
47 — DeShawn Sims — F — 6’8″ — 225 — Michigan
48 — Ryan Thompson — G — 6’6″ — 220 — Rider
49 — Ryan Wittman — F — 6’7″ — 215 — Cornell

I’m excited to see the Celtics debuts of Erden, Gaffney and Harangody, and can only hope Oliver Lafayette is as good as he looked in his brief, meaningless stint during the regular season. Summer league play starts July 5.

    Interesting, I’ll be following Summer league closely.

    Erden has a lot of potential, but sadly that’s all he has right now. I’d love to see Gaffney on the C’s, but I’m biased cause I went to high school with him; he’ll have his work cut out for him competing with DeShawn Sims for a SF/PF spot.

    Lafayette is really going to have a challenge since the Bradley pick. Do you really think they’ll carry a 3rd point guard? Unlikely, unless he blows people away this summer, it’s far more likely they’d waive him just to keep the roster spot open.

      I like Gaffney too; all heart and hustle. Not a lot of skill though. And I don’t expect anything out of Erden, but he could surprise me.

        All heart and hustle, with enough hard work to manage a couple half way decent NBA talents (post move, jump shot) can make someone a 2-3 million role player though.

    Too bad Jeff Foote signed in Israel. Active 7 footer.

    Amare is all these guys can sign after a couple of years of attempting to open cap room! They’ll pay the guy a hundred mil and the dude possesses terrible knees as well as vision issues. Did Isiah come back and start performing the general manager role yet again? At this rate it can be another ten years until the team can make any kind of run during the playoffs.

      Yup, unless Amar’e is joined by Lebron or D-Wade. Then they’re dangerous.
