Report: Gary Clark working out for the Boston Celtics

Former Houston Rockets and Orland Magic forward Gary Clark is working out for the Boston Celtics, according to Sportando’s Emiliano Carchia. Clark would fill a position of need for the Celtics as a deep rotation power forward. Boston has Al Horford once again, but he is much more of a center these days. They also have Grant Williams and Juancho Hernangomez at the position as well, but neither are incredibly productive.

Clark would seem to be more of a depth option than anything at this time, as he’s never really flashed more than some decent rebounding prowess. He is a career 3.1 points and 2.9 rebounds per game player with some average shooting percentages.

Clark has been in the league for three seasons but has bounced around quite a bit and he has already played for four organizations in that time.


His career kicked off with the Rockets on a two-way deal, playing 69 games for them over parts of two seasons and earning a full contract.

Clark was waived by the Rockets and played on a series of 10-day contracts with the Magic before earning a multi-year deal and eventually getting traded to the Denver Nuggets with Aaron Gordon. He played just two games for the Nuggets before getting waived once more and he signed a two-way deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

MY NOTE: 6'6", 225#. That's the same weight, but shorter, as Jaylen Brown and he's no 4. This is, at best, camp fodder so there can be multiple squads scrimmaging at once.

exactly..

The Celtics have been actively working out different players, some done quick and unnoticed. This is a good sign that they are not standing pat with their lineup. I feel this might be a very active year for Brad and company (as it already has proven to be)

I don't know this guy can help this season, but Stevens is certainly attempting to give Udoka a better and deeper roster than the Cs had last season.

If nothing else, the roster will not be so young, especially from #11 to 15. This will not only help when these guys are needed to play some important minutes in clutch games, but will greatly increase team performances at practice.

At least they are looking at guys. That is important, because if someone gets cut, the interest in adding a player or whatever will be
A selling point, along with an aggressive new coach
