Twitter Reactions: Ben Bentil to Boston

Ben Bentil was drafted 51st by the Boston Celtics in Thursday night’s NBA Draft. After a breakout sophomore season, Bentil decided to forego his final two years of eligibility, and now he’ll battle for a roster spot on a Celtics team that could benefit from an element of physicality and athleticism in the frontcourt.

Here is how Twitter reacted.

Congratulations to @benbentil for being selected by the Celtics. Will be lots of regretful teams that passed #pcbbhttps://t.co/dyWhShOMfS

Celtics get some value in the second round with Demetrius Jackson and Ben Bentil. Ainge just trying to be able to go back out in public.

   wildwolfYou’re right. Your exact words were “the remaining bots we are tracking, sad to say, are mainly in Ravenclaw.” I guess anyone who’s doing well at dueling must be a bot, unless of course they’re a friend of yours. Then they’re innocent by association.
