According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Boston Celtics signed Neemias Queta to fill their final two-way opening. JD Davison and Jay Scrubb are the two others who will split their time between Boston and Maine this season.

Queta was the runner-up for MVP in the G League last season. He also earned a G League All-Defensive Team selection. The seven-foot center generated 16.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting 68 percent from the field for the Stockton Kings.

The 24-year-old from Portugal offers intriguing upside as a young developmental big for the Celtics to work with. The signing is a move Inside The Celtics previously suggested.
