Jarvis Varnado to sign with Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are signing forward Jarvis Varnado of Sioux Falls in the D-League, league source tells Y! Sports.

Despite Fab Melo’s ridiculous 15/16/14 triple-double this weekend, the Boston Celtics decided to sign Jarvis Varnado, a 6-foot-9 shot blocker who became the NCAA’s top career shot blocker while at Mississippi State. Varnado, 24, is averaging 3.9 blocks per game in the D-League this season, which probably means the Celtics are admitting, “Yeah, son dude, our interior defense sucks.”
Varnado isn’t a polished center by any means, but he should help Boston’s interior defense, which certainly could use some assistance.

A raw, undersized, bench warming power forward. Just what the Cs needed. Now I can safely say banner #18 is just around the corner.

Agreed, this team already have 2 players of similar size in BB and JS. This team needs height that can actually play some decent minutes and take pressure of KG.

Another 6’9″ guy when we need a 7-footer, like Melo. While Fab may be raw I can’t imagine getting to play with the team now, since we’re .500, would be a bad thing. He would gain experience, clog the middle, and he can rebound. He also doesn’t need any plays run for him so any scoring would be a bonus. But God for bid the Cs ever play a rookie. Hope the new guy can at least score too since he’s 24 and hopefully he will not be taking minutes from JS. Go Cs…
