Pittsnogle signs two-year contract with the Celtics: Our hearts go pitter-patter

Back in June, we felt the biggest NBA Draft snub was Kevin Pittsnogle. If the Knicks were going to go ahead and nab this guy in the first round, Pittsnogle had to have gotten picked up at some point, right? Nope. Dude has a baby to support, let’s get him to the NBA and fast! We waited for the news.

And as E so aptly put it back then, “We did expect Pittsnogle to get the nod, though, considering his size, versatility and consistent success in college. Lack of athleticism probably killed him, but man…that dude was good, despite his ridiculous tattoos. Unfortunate.”

Unfortuate, indeed. But, the day has arrived. After spending some time playing in the summer league with the Heat, Big Pitty signed a two-year contract with the Celtics today.

We think his tattoos will be the perfect accessory to a green Celtics jersey, no?

Pittsnogle definitely has talent, great range for a big man and was successful as hell in college. Hopefully, his collegiate game translates to the pros.

Remember kids, your dreams can come true.
