Ben Bentil Summer League Debut

Ben Bentil made a strong first impression, scoring 11 points and grabbing six rebounds in his Summer League debut with the Boston Celtics.

The former Providence big man scored his first points off of a 3-pointer, connected on a mid-range jumper, and drew a defender out to the three point line and drove past him for a dunk.

Bentil played 17 minutes, shooting 3-6 from the floor, 1-3 from 3, and 4-4 at the free throw line.

James Young nailed two 3s, while Jaylen Brown and Ben Bentil each scored five points, and the Celtics lead the Sixers 23-20 after the first.

Early summer-league overreaction: Ben Bentil is more ready for the NBA than Guerschon Yabusele.

Ben Bentil is very loud and talkative on defense, really directing guys.

#Celtics assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry said one thing that’s surprised him about rookie Ben Bentil is how physical he can play.

   It is an insult to Celtics Fan that Guershan Yabusele ,6’7″–260 lbs PF is not on the Roster.
   He has the built to prevent a Lebron James from getting to the basket and his skill set is above average….
