James Posey, a two-time NBA Champion, has decided to leave the Boston Celtics as an unrestricted free agent. He has chosen to sign with the New Orleans Hornets. James Posey won a championship with the Miami Heat and last season’s champions, the Boston Celtics.
James Posey would be a big addition to the New Orleans Hornets. He will bring with him championship experience. He can also consistently hit from three. He has impeccable defense that harasses the opposing team’s star player. He is great in positioning to draw the charge and unafraid to sacrifice his body. He is also a player who waits for the offense to come to him. He doesn’t force things.
He only averaged 6.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season. This may seem like a mediocre contribution from a player. But what he brought to the table were the intangibles that others are not able to contribute.
James Posey is also unafraid to take shots in the clutch moments of a game. He is always a threat because of his long-range shooting. He also displayed a clutch performance in the most recent Eastern Conference Finals. This wasn’t on the offensive end of the floor though. He made a crucial steal in the 4th quarter against the Detroit Pistons. This was the turning point that helped the Celtics win the game.
James Posey will most likely be joining Chris Paul, David West, Tyson Chandler, and Peja Stojakovic in the Hornets’ starting lineup.
