The Celtics signed a pair of undrafted free agents Wednesday in Jalen Jones and Damion Lee, bringing their training camp roster to 20, the maximum number a team can bring to camp. The deals was first reported by RealGM.

Jones, a 6-foot-7 forward, spent two seasons at SMU before transferring to Texas A&M for his final two seasons. During his senior year with the Aggies, Jones averaged 15.3 points per game with 7.2 rebounds alongside a 42.5 field goal percentage. Jones spent the summer league in Las Vegas with the Raptors.

The 6-foot-6 guard Lee finished his college career at Louisville for a season after beginning with Drexel. His senior season with the Cardinals, Lee averaged 15.9 points per game, with 1.5 steals, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. He played for Miami in both the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues.

Per The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, the deals are not guaranteed, which now makes four non-guaranteed deals for the Celtics, with Ben Bentil and Marcus Georges-Hunt sharing similar contract situations. Bringing all four to camp will entitle the Celtics to the players’ D-League rights.

Here’s a look at the roster the Celtics will take to training camp when it begins on Sept. 26, barring a trade or a cut.

Guards: Avery Bradley, Marcus Georges-Hunt, R.J. Hunter, Demetrius Jackson, Damion Lee, Terry Rozier, Marcus Smart, Isaiah Thomas, James Young

Forwards/centers: Ben Bentil, Jaylen Brown, Jae Crowder, Gerald Green, Al Horford, Jonas Jerebko, Amir Johnson, Jalen Jones, Jordan Mickey, Kelly Olynyk, Tyler Zeller

I have never heard of either guy, but they will at least get a chance to show themselves in an NBA pre season setting.

Could be the start of something for them and will fill the drill and scrimmage situations for the Cs in the early part of training camp.

Stashing prospects in the D League. You never know when a diamond is found.
