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

Bentil has developed an excellent inside-outside game.
