On this day in Boston Celtics history, point guard Will Bynum signed a camp deal with the storied franchise after going undrafted in the 2005 NBA draft. Bynum, a native of Chicago, Illinois, played his college ball at the University of Arizona and then later would transfer to Georgia Tech.
Bynum helped lead the latter of the two schools to an NCAA title game with a late make against the Oklahoma State Cowboys before trying his luck in the draft that year, then signing with Boston later that summer when no teams selected him. He would not end up making the team, however — Bynum would find himself waived a little more than two months later, on October 25th.
The Chicagoan would become a Celtic again briefly many years later, after stints with the Golden State Warriors and Detroit Pistons.
