Robert Swift

I remember hearing a lot of people in the media building this kid up around the time he was drafted in 2004. And I also remember Danny Ainge being in love with this kid (high schooler, surprise surprise). He played in 47 games last year, started 20, averaged 6 points, 5 boards, and a block in about 20 minutes per game. What is his deal this season? Where has he been? He hasn't played a game and does he have a future in this league?

 

He tore his ACL before the season started, I feel bad for him because he earned a starting position right before the injury happened. Who knows what kind of numbers he would be putting up as a starter right now, I'm thinking around 12 points and 8 boards per night.2005 Robert Swift:Current Robert Swift:

 

Ainge wanted to have his kids. Glad we never got him.

He went from zit-boy to badass brother trucker. Hey, at least he discovered Proactive though, eh?

 

I Have a feeling Swift will come back next year better than ever, I hope.

 

He's a nice athlete, but earning a center spot on the Celtics isn't any indication that he's a good player...still has a ton of holes in his game...can block shots...young guy with time on his side...

Typo* my bad.

 

This guy can jump, I remember last year he had like 3 alley oop dunks against the Wizards.. it was getting annoying.

Has the potential to be a solid player but his new "look".... ehhhh

 

I didnt think Swift could look any better but that new look makes my heart beat fast
