Louis Amundson

by Celtics own the refs on Jul 2, 2010 9:28 PM EDT

Louis Amundson is a FA this year. He is only 6'7 but rebounds, plays D, and blocks shots from the weakside. He is an undersized center, but helped Phoenix match-up with Lamarcus Aldridge and Tim Duncan in the playoffs. He will dive for loose balls and play with a lot of energy. He has limited range, and is horrible from the charity stripe. He can be a good option if we can't get Brad Miller. He has to come off the bench though.

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

would be a great fit

i think a lot of teams know what he is and he’ll get alot of offers when some of the bigger names clear out….his issue is hieght, we already have a short PF who hustles and is a vastly better shooter in BBD……ill stick with davis he has chemistry with the big 4 !!!! on top of that we just drafted harangody who is essentially the same hustle player as admunson but already far more polished in the post offensively…… we should trade sheeds contract for WHATEVER servicable big we can get , sign jj redick with our MLE , then get a kurt thomas or ryan hollins with a minimum deal….

C's do not need any more undersized big men, especially with Baby on the roster...

They need long athletic big men preferably legit 7 footers.

If the playoffs showed us any thing like in the case of Sheeds effective play due to his length, the Lakers effective play due to their length, length is very important to have up in the front court.

The C’s need to acquire some ASAP especially with Perk down and Rasheed retiring.

Agree 100%... We should forget Miller... this guy brings energy and would be a great fit

Can rebound and is a monster on D… Enough said…

158 of the 402 rebounds he grabbed this year (including playoffs) were offensive boards. That being said, 40% of his rebounds are from the offensive glass. Keep in mind that Amundson played within the Phoenix Suns offense… enough said.
