Celtics sign No. 30 pick, defensive whiz Giddens

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Celtics signed their first-round draft pick J.R. Giddens on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-5 point guard, the 30th pick in the draft, averaged 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds for New Mexico during his senior season.

The 23-year-old Giddens brings a reputation as a strong defender to the defending NBA champion Celtics.

Giddens said he has matured in the last few years. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge after being stabbed at a bar fight in May 2005 while playing for Kansas. He transferred to New Mexico, where he was suspended twice in his first season.

Interesting signing!

I wonder if his skills are better than his no30 selection.
He might have been picked that low because of his misdemeanors NOT because of his balling.

Anyway the Celtics didn't have to sign him but did... so he must have shown them a thing or two in practice.
