Just released by Celtics... Lakers should waive Peace, Robinson, and Yi and sign this guy, way more potential... |

The guy is a strong body at the 4 that can shoot the 3 |

We need guard that can defend more than we need a forward but BB is quite intriguing as a potential prospect.. |

He would be a TREMENDOUS fit for us. Perfect for Luke's system. I have always loved his game. He was forced to play the 5 in college as the Friars had no height. He did get pushed around on the defensive end, but I do not see that problem at the 4. Offensively, he is more skilled than ANY of our 4's. He has a great inside outside game. Can hit the 3 and has good wheels and handles. He is a potential matchup nightmare as defenders have to make a choice whether to play him high or not. His release is high and his shot is tough to block. Best of all, he hits his free throws. |

So basically the Celtics gave up Bentil for Ryan Kelly? _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I think I read that bentil didn't wanna go to the d-league and they just waived kelly and it looks like he'll go to the red claws |

You are right anpherknee. Atlanta does not have a D league team, and the word over here is that Kelly was told he would be going to the D league before his signing.
I hope Bentil gets locked up somewhere. He gave up 2 years of eligibility to enter the draft. |

Ben is actually a better than average defender, especially if he plays the 4. He was undersized playing the 5 last year. |

I hoped the Lakers would give him a shot. He has some potential. |
