New additions of Kanter, Poirer will give Celtics a presence on the glass

Over the past few years the one thing the Boston Celtics have dearly missed is a rebounding presence down low. Now with the additions of Enes Kanter and Vincent Poirer this off-season, they have added one of the top rebounders in the league and the top rebounder from the EuroLeague last season, Celtics.com's Marco D'Amico points out.

For the New York Knicks and Portland Trailblazers last season, Kanter was tremendous at grabbing boards. In 67 games played between the two organizations, he got more than 10 rebounds in 33 of those contests, with a season high of 26 versus the Memphis Grizzlies in November.
