The Celtics still have one preseason game remaining, but big man Noah Vonleh reportedly has shown enough to convince team decision makers to keep him around for a while.
According to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe, Vonleh has the inside track for one of the two remaining roster spots still available after the Celtics revamped and reloaded their bench this offseason. Vonleh showed an intriguing skill set through three preseason games, most notably as a rebounder on a team that has lacked rebounding at times with Robert Williams out.
Playing for the Celtics would be a return home for Vonleh, both to the NBA after a season playing for the Shanghai Sharks in China as well as to Boston.
