Celtics bring in six for workout, including "Yao Ming of India"

The Celtics brought in six players to work out on Thursday: David Kravish (California), Cliff Alexander (Kansas), Maxie Esho (UMass), Chasson Randle (Stanford), George de Paula (Brazil). But, the final prospect towered above the rest. That man-child? Satnam Singh from India by way of IMG Academy in Florida.

The 19-year-old Singh checks in at a sturdy 7'2" and 290 pounds and is considered a fringe second round prospect by draft talent evaluators. DraftExpress has Singh ranked as their 70th best prospect in the 2015 NBA Draft, and 15th best center.

Singh came to IMG in Bradenton via scholarship in 2010, not knowing a single word of English, according to Sports Illustrated.
