Bynum, a 6-0, 185 lb guard played his college basketball at Georgia Tech, where he averaged 9.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in 101 career games. As a senior, Bynum scored a Georgia Tech ACC Tournament record 35 points in the Yellow Jackets? semifinal victory over North Carolina. He went on to earn first-team All-Tournament honors, averaging 20.7 points over three tournament games. During his junior year, Bynum helped lead the Yellow Jackets to the NCAA Championship game with a last second basket to defeat the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Bynum transferred to Georgia Tech in his junior year after spending two years at the University of Arizona. While at Arizona he played in 39 games and started 11, posting career averages of 6.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists. Bynum competed on the Celtics 2005 summer league entry in the Vegas Reebok Summer League, averaging 4.2 points to go with 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game in 6 appearances.</div> http://www.nba.com/celtics/roster/CelticsSignWillBynum.html I don't think we're going to carry four point guards during the season. This signing looks to be an indication that one of the others is on the way out. With all the speculation of Banks being shopped, I'll guess that if anybody's gone -- it's him. Hopefully in a deal that frees us from Blount's contract.
Interesting signing, because of the depth the C's already have at PG. They will probably have to wait before they can find a suitor for Marcus Banks. There are still a lot of free agent PGs in the market. The Celtics might stash Bynum in the NBDL until they clear out the logjam.
What a glorious day. Does this mean the end of Marcus Banks? A totally unspectacular point guard. I sure do hope so. I would love to see what kind of dimension Bynum could add to the bench.
