Via Chris Forsberg, ESPN Boston:
Add DeShawn Sims to the youngsters that have been extended invites to Celtics’ training camp in October. From the Ann Arbor News:
Former Michigan basketball forward DeShawn Sims is heading to camp.
“I got invited to Celtics training camp,” Sims said in a text message Tuesday.
Sims, a 6’8″, 225-lb. combo forward, played his college basketball at Michigan, where as senior he was second-team All Big Ten. He was undrafted in the 2010 NBA draft, but played four games for the Celtics in the Orlando summer league and four games for the Mavericks in the Las Vegas summer league. In the Orlando summer league, he averaged 7.5 points and 1.8 rebounds. Sims is the second player invited to training camp from the Orlando summer league team, joining Northeastern guard Matt Janning, who has yet to accept his invitation.

Thank you. Now he’s the kind of young talent the Cs need to work into the system so eventually one, two or more of these kids can stick and really give the Cs some help. I say the 13-15 bench guys should all be young guys needing development. Not House or West (but Shaq and Sheed of course are 11 & 12) because the young guys will push but also learn from all the quality practice time going against the other 12. Go Cs…

Sims can fill it up. He’s got some potential. I liked what I saw from him in summer league. You can tell he’s the type of guy who can score buckets rolling out of bed in the morning. But can he do anything else? Time will tell.
