He played last year for Valencia Basket Club of the Spanish ACB League, averaging 9.3 points and 4.6 rebounds in 17 minutes in 23 games.
Also, Faverani was eligible for the 2009 NBA draft but was not selected.
“He was not drafted because he was very immature and did not take the game seriously,” said an Eastern Conference scout who said he spent considerable time scouting Faverani.
“He could not be trusted. He has done a lot of growing up, both on and off the floor, and has turned the corner, so to speak.”
In terms of how Faverani fits in with the Celtics, the scout said, “I can see him as a pick-and-pop big, offensively. Where he fits defensively and being a consistent rebounder will be the key.”
