The Celtics have re-signed Glen “Big Baby” Davis to a 2-year, $6.3 million dollar contract. The 23-year old power forward played in 76 games (16 starts) for the Celtics last season and he averaged 21.5 minutes, 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. He has now played in 145 games (17 starts) in his two years with the Celtics and he has averaged 17.8 minutes, 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Davis really stepped up in the playoffs for the Celtics last season but he will likely be backing up Rasheed Wallace this season.

The Celtics have signed 25-year old power forward Shelden Williams to a 1-year deal. Williams has not reached his potential yet as he was a high first round pick 3 years ago of the Atlanta Hawks. Williams played in 45 games (0 starts) last season for the T-Wolves and Kings in which he averaged 11.4 minutes, 4.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. He has now played in 190 games (31 starts) in his three year NBA career and he has averaged 14.7 minutes, 4.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. The Celtics will be happy with Williams if he just gives them some rebounding and defense off the bench.

The Celtics have waived 23-year old guard Gabe Pruitt. Pruitt played in 47 games (0 starts) for the Celtics last season and he averaged 7.8 minutes, 2.0 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. He played in 62 games (0 starts) in his two year NBA career and he averaged 7.4 minutes, 2.0 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Pruitt only shot 32.1% in his time with the Celtics and they won’t miss him at all.
