Celtics kick off Orlando summer league action today


Boston begins play in the Orlando Pro Summer League this morning at 11 am, taking on the Magic.  The C's  are scheduled for 5 games in 6 days, and will be led by 2012 first round draft pick Fab Melo.  This year's draftees Kelly Olynyk and Colton Iverson will suit up as well, in addition to a variety of D-Leaguers, undrafted free agents, and players from overseas.  Here's the complete roster via Celtics.com:

Keep an eye on former Missouri Tiger Phil Pressey, who left school early and declared for the draft after his junior season, but was not selected.  The Celtics worked him out back in late May, were rumored to be looking to get their hands on another 2nd round pick in order to acquire him, and then ended up signing him the day after the draft when he wasn't chosen.  Pressey is the son of former Milwaukee Buck Paul Pressey.
