Jeff Adrien, Still has not found a Home in the NBA!!!

This is really shocking in my opinion. This young man has the upside of a Richard Jefferson and if I remember correctly, he put on a one man slam dunk show in one of his games as a Huskie last year. Can someone tell me why this kid, who has shown alot more game then Gerald Green did when he came into the league years back, has not been signed as an undrafted free agent. I know the Celtics are not in dire need of his talent as he is listed as a power foward/ small forward, but really, he's very appealing in my eyes. Why not other GM's?

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

he can play i dont kno why gm’s havnt considered him is he injury prone or anything, or is his personal life not worth the risk of signing him, but me personally i dnt worry about those type of things in a player. if i was danny id try to sign him, i think he has much more potential and ability to help us than sheldon williams or leon powe, maybe we culd trade sheldon williams if we picked jeff adrien up n work out a deal for a back up wing or point

I agree when it comes to signing him. Simply because he is a big time steal. I really think that GM’s are sleeping on this kid’s potential. I would not get rid of Shelden Williams though, even though we re-signed BBD, Shelden is a nice insurance policy in case any of our other big men get injured (god forbid). But the bottom line is this kid is a baller, he nearly averaged a “double double” in pts and rebs over the last 3 years of his career at Uconn with 14 and 10 a game respectively.
