The Celtics have signed 25-year old shooting guard Von Wafer to a 1-year deal at the veteran’s minimum. Wafer did not play in the NBA last season. He has played in 109 games (11 starts) in his four years in the NBA and he has averaged 13.3 minutes, 6.2 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. This was a solid signing for the Celtics as Wafer brings instant offense off the bench.
The Celtics have re-signed 29-year old SG/SF Marquis Daniels to a 1-year, $2.5 million dollar deal. Daniels played in 51 games (4 starts) for the Celtics last season and he averaged 18.4 minutes, 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He has now played in 402 games (113 starts) in his 7 years in the NBA and he has averaged 22.9 minutes, 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steal per game. This was a smart move for the Celtics as Daniels is a solid bench player when healthy.

Robinson played in 26 games (0 starts) for the Celtics last season and he averaged 14.7 minutes, 6.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. He has now played in 338 games (61 starts) in his five years in the NBA and he is averaging 24.0 minutes, 12.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Robinson was a huge asset in the playoffs for the Celtics and they have locked him up for two more years which was a smart move. He brings instant offense off the bench.

He has now played in 862 games (646 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 28.4 minutes, 14.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.9 blocked shots per game. This was a great signing for the Celtics as O’Neal will be the starting center until Kendrick Perkins returns.

Allen played in 80 games (all starts) for the Celtics last season in which he averaged 35.2 minutes, 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
