The Celtics have made several moves recently, finalizing the roster we can expect to see next season.

Whether it's been trades, signings or players being waived, we've seen it all from Brad Stevens recently.

One move in the last week freed up a roster spot for Boston, allowing them to sign a newly acquired player to a contract.

Who did the Celtics sign?

It's been close to two months since the NBA Draft and the Celtics still haven't signed one of their rookies. That was until today, when they signed Amari Williams.

The Celtics waited for the rest of the roster logistics to be handled before signing Williams, but they were finally able to sign him after freeing up a roster spot a few days ago.

According to NBA insider Michael Scotto, "The Boston Celtics signed No. 46 pick Amari Williams to a two-way deal, sources told @hoopshype."

Williams will play between Maine and Boston next season, since he signed a two-way contract with the team.

He was drafted 46th overall in the draft this year and will now officially be with the team next season.

Williams played four games with the Celtics' summer league team last month, averaging 6.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

He'll come into the NBA at 23 years old after playing five years in college.

Williams played for Drexel for his first four seasons before transferring to Kentucky for year five. In 141 college games, he averaged 10.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.
