    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sources have exclusively confirmed today to DraftExpress.com?s Jonathan Givony that Louisiana Lafayette point guard Orien Greene has been inked to a 3 year, 1.8 million dollar contract by the Boston Celtics . Greene, a 6-5, 210 pound pure PG was the #53 pick in this year?s draft. He was called one of the biggest sleepers in the draft by DraftExpress back in April, but was not invited by the NBA to either Portsmouth or the Chicago Pre-Draft camp after averaging only 11 points a game last season.

    The first year of his contract will be fully guaranteed according to the source, while the 2nd year is partially guaranteed and the 3rd year is a team option. The Celtics had to dip into their Mid-Level Exception to lock him up for the three year deal, as Greene will earn more than the NBA minimum</div>

    I like this guy, daresay I like him better than Marcus Banks, although I'm still willing to give him a shot. Greene is nowhere near NBA ready, and Banks could actually help him with that, if he would just stop FOULING!

    More perimeter D from a 1, and good size too, I'll take it.

    This signing has a lot of people speculating that Banks will be traded this offseason.
