The Oklahoma City Thunder re-signed restricted free agent center Robert Swift it was announced today by the team's General Manager Sam Presti. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We are pleased to have Robert back with our organization," Presti said. "We look forward to his contributions this season."
Swift, the 12th overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, has career averages of 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 71 games with the club.
The 7-1, 270 lbs center averaged 18.8 points, 15.9 rebounds and 6.2 blocks per game as a senior at Bakersfield High School on his way to being named a McDonald's All-American.
It better not be more than a 1 million deal. He isn't worth much considering all of his injuries so if they gave him more than that then they aren't off to a very good start.

Dude had talent, got injured and turned into what appears to be a meth-head, after all he is from Bakersfield.

"has career averages of 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 71 games with the club."
those AREN'T his career averages. those are his stats from last season. although it's really not saying much, he is the best C on the Thunder. If he can play like he did pre-injury, he has potential.
