The Celtics have signed J.R. Giddens, their first-round draft pick, to a two-year deal, according to The Boston Herald.

"I really like J.R. He?s athletic, skilled, a great in-between game," Celtics' Coach Doc Rivers said after the draft. "He has a chance to fight for minutes right away because of his defense."

Giddens was the 30th overall pick in June's NBA Draft.
