|  Kevin Pittsnogle Signs
| Pittsnogle signs free-agent contract with Celtics | |
July 26, 2006
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Free agent Kevin Pittsnogle has signed a two-year contract with the Boston Celtics, his agent said Wednesday.
Pittsnogle, a 6-foot-11 center who is West Virginia's career 3-point leader, was passed over in June's NBA draft along with Mountaineers teammate Mike Gansey. Both played for the Miami Heat in a summer league, and Gansey signed a two-year deal with the Heat.
Pittsnogle led the Mountaineers with 19.3 points per game last season and was named to the All-Big East first team. He led West Virginia to the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament the past two seasons.
"Clearly, Kevin's strength is extending defenses with his range. He's big enough and he's got a quick trigger," agent Dan Tobin said. "He's a unique player, somewhat of a specialist at this point. We're trying to expand other areas of his game and I think that's what's going to help him make the transition."
Pittsnogle made 253 career 3-pointers and his 41.1 percent 3-point accuracy rate ranks second in school history. He is sixth in career scoring with 1,708 points. |

I think Pittsnogle could help a team in the leauge out. At 6'11 he's got a great touch and is a skilled passer. I'm not going to doubt his toughness or work ethic, so I see him being a decent 7th or 8th man in this league for a while. |

Ryan, you seem upset about the Balkman pick, and rightfully so. This guy is very raw and gets by on pure energy. He's the kind of guy you take off the free agent wire. | |
