Celtics' Ben Bentil: Will battle for 15th roster spot in camp

Bentil agreed Saturday with the Celtics on a partially guaranteed rookie contract, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Bentil, the No. 51 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, is expected to finalize the contract at some point this week, locking him in as a training camp invitee. The forward from Providence averaged just 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds across 10.4 minutes per game in summer league play, and likely wouldn't be a rotation player for the Celtics if he's able to secure his place on the Celtics roster. According to Himmelbach's sources, Bentil will battle holdovers R.J. Hunter, James Young and John Holland for the 15th and final roster spot during camp.
