The 27 year old Hollins has been in the league since 2006 and played for four different NBA teams, along with a stint in the D-League. In 299 career games Hollins has averaged a modest four points, two rebounds and half a block. Based on his player efficiency rating of 10.7, Hollins has been well-below average on the offensive end. His career rebounding percentages are also terrible for an NBA big man.

Wilcox, 29, appeared in 28 games for the Celtics this season, and was somewhat productive in limited minutes. His true shooting percentage of .612 ranked second on the team, behind Ray Allen. However; he was ruled out for the rest of the season with a heart problem.
