The Boston Celtics have selected Providence's Ben Bentil with the 51st pick of the 2016 NBA Draft.
Bentil, a 6-foot-8 power forward, has the length to succeed at the next level, and he's a balanced scorer whose range is moving towards 3-point territory. The 21-year-old averaged roughly 21 points, eight rebounds, and a block in his sophomore season with the Friars.
Bentil might be a bit undersized, and he's not the strongest defender, but he's a polished offensive big man.
