The summer league kicks off tonight for the C's, and while these games don't count for anything, The Green Party will still be providing coverage. Tonight, the Celtics take on Portland and Greg Oden. Here's the summer league roster thanks to Celtics.com:
Lance Allred (C) - Weber State
Pat Carroll (G/F) - St. Josephs
Glen Davis (F) - LSU
Torin Francis (F) - Notre Dame
Andreas Glyniadakis (C) - Greece
Gerald Green (G/F) - Gulf Shores AcademyEric Hicks (F) - Cincinnati
Leon Powe (F) - California
Gabe Pruitt (G) - USC
Allan Ray (G) - Villanova
Rajon Rondo (G) - Kentucky
Sergio Sanchez (G) - Spain
Brandon Wallace (F) - South Carolina
There should be some competition for a few roster spots, so a lot of these guys will be bringing their A game. I'm very curious to see what Torin Francis can do. At 6'11", he has the size, but the hype he once had has certainly died down.
Competition may have already begun at the point guard spot, according to a blog written by Spanish player Sergio Sanchez. While the translation is rough, it's funny nonetheless:
"Rondo was very nice the first day but later, when he asked me and I told him I played the point like him, he didnt say another word to me! I dont believe it is the competition that would lead to this but ok....I only intend on palying as well as I can and that is it. ..." (link)
The remaining schedule is as follows:
July 9 vs. San Antonio - 1:00
July 11 vs. Chinese National Team - 7:00
July 13 vs. Milwaukee - 5:00
July 14 vs. New York - 1:00
FSN will be broadcasting all the games live, as well as NBA.com which is streaming all the summer league action.
