Bentil

Ghana International Basketball Player Ben Bentil showed off his shooting skills from three point range during Panathinaikos Media Day.

Players and Coaches of the Greek Giant took turns to take photos and answer questions from media personnel as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

6 foot 8 inch Forward Bentil who is in his second year with the team, casually drained a three point shot from half court range where famous players like Steph Curry and Damian Lillard have made their signature moves.

Bentil’s three point shooting stroke is a major reason he got drafted into the NBA in 2016 via Boston Celtics 51st pick; he made history by becoming the first Ghana  born player to get drafted into the league.

After a year spent largely coming off the bench, the Small Forward/ Power Forward enters the final year on his deal. He played for fellow Greek side Peristeri where he averaged 11 points per game prior to his move to Panathinaikos.
