After spending two seasons with the Celtics, point
guard Gabe Pruitt will be waived by the team tonight, according to a
league source.
The Celtics had until tomorrow to pick up the option on the final year of his contract worth approximately $900,000, but declined. Pruitt, a highly skilled point guard from USC, never managed to crack Doc Rivers’ rotation – in part because the C’s coach often questioned Pruitt’s aggressiveness.
I think he's good enough to get a camp invite somewhere. I've said it before... but I think Gabe has a lot of skills. He's never used them all at the same time, which has been a problem. And he may never figure out how to use them all. But if he does, he'll be a good player.
