    Not saying he will be..just saying this kid has more athleticism than any center ive seen in green,or since Parrish. If Steisma can develop this quickly, why not this guy..Golden State gave up on Parrish after 4 so an so seasons...this guy's been with several teams. Could it be that he just hasn't been in the right system and  coaching???? I guess we'll find out...Worse case, at least he can give us some fouls and blocked shots.,rest for Kg and co..and hopefully lots of dunks off Rondo passess
    .i thought the same thing when i saw the videos on Petrius, i said, wow, this guy can play ball.has a tude.bout him...Hollins is still a pup..

    I hope, teamed with KG , it would give us to seven foot erasers.  3 with the Steamer.

    WE are still missing the thick guy like Perk and even Davis, who could body up and hold their position. off subject is Mike James available?

    Good point.
    Big bodies take up space in the paint.

    We can only dream about Hollins.  He is a seven footer who was waived.

    Hollins is a long way from being our Robert Parish.  That aint going to happen.

    I don't think it's that important for the Celtics to have a "big guy" in the middle.  There just are not that many teams who have quality centers that can dominate a game.  There's really only Howard and Bynum although there are other capable centers.  But there just isn't a need for that rugged big body in the middle anymore.

    I think Hollins is and has been a decent backup center (who has alot of upside and time to develop it) and with him and Steamer, all the Celtics need now is a "real" starting center like Kaman.

    In my opinion, the Celtics need TWO Kenneth Faried-type hungry rebounders more than anything.

    Kaman would have been good enough to make the Celts elite this season. But next season is a different story. Pierce will be 35. KG and Ray are not sure to return and both are older than Pierce. It's time to rebuild. And the only way to do that is through the lottery.

    Ryan Hollins never averaged more than 2.8 rpg in his whole career. Ha Ha

    Sign Hibbert and a scorer in free agency, and then add our two first round picks.

    Bring Pierce back, and Ray or Garnett if they are cheap enough.

    Easy to say sign Hibbert. But he's a restricted free-agent. Big men like Hibbert don't grow on trees. The Pacers will likely match any offers given to Hibbert.

    Why hang on to Ray when he's going to be 37 years old in July? Time to move on!

    When Golden State "gave up" on Parish he was averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds a game.  Hollins is just a big body that can run around and not fall over.

    There was a report that Larry Bird may not be returning next year. If the Pacers fail this year it may be that Hibbert becomes more of a potential reality.

    I still am not sure he is a building block in a championship team.  He seems slow afoot to me, but he is light years better than what we have.

    Javelle McGee is probably more accessible than Hibbert. Denver may not want to match a deandre Jordan type contract offer to McGee. With the lack of talent in this years free agent pool, McGee should be the C's top priority. If the C's Get McGee, resign KG (he is not going to come cheap), and get a couple of rotation players in the draft, they may be able to quickly become legitimate contenders next year.

    Exactly everytime I think of a hall of fame center that played into his 40s and had actual skill, the only person that comes to mind is Ryan Hollins.......coffee's done, wake up and smell it.

    Hollins is living up to his reputation as a poor rebounder, 2 games and only 1 rebound. Ha Ha

    If he gives us6-8mins/ 2pts,2rbs,and 2blocks,and several altered shots, ill take it..when shot blockers go after a shot, they are rarely in position to get the rebound..

    I mean the Cavs don't have many big men and yet they just let Hollins go. If he's any good the Cavs would have kept him.
