C's Find Big Man, Sign Erden

The Celtics needed to address the issue of a center this offseason, and they feel they may have helped themselves with the signing of 2008 second round draft pick Semih Erden. Erden is 7'0", 240 lbs and a native of Turkey. He started on his Turkish League team this season, and that team won the championship of the league.

You never know how this guy could turn out. Maybe he's the answer? Who knows. He'll have to earn his stripes at the C's summer league games. That's when the staff will get their first real close look at him. Kevin Garnett was promoting Erden on his facebook page, saying that he should be brought to Boston. Ainge has followed through -- now let's see if he lives up to any of the expectations.
