Besiktas officially signs Celtics draftee Colton Iverson
The big man moves to Turkey
Besiktas officially sign Colton Iverson for the coming season, his agent Adam Pensack told Sportando.
Iverson has been selected with the 53rd overall pick by the Celtics in the 2013 NBA Draft.
"The Boston Celtics don't have roster space for Colton Iverson at this point so he signed a one year deal in Turkey with Besiktas. Boston's coaches are putting together a development plan for him and Boston will attend 3 or 4 of his games this year to monitor his progress. Boston invested quite a bit to acquire the 53rd pick to draft Colton and they plan to invest further in his development because they believe he can help them next year and beyond" his agent Adam Pensack told Sportando.
Colton Iverson finished his college career averaging 14.2ppg and 9.8rpg with Colorado State.
