BOSTON - The Boston Celtics announced today that they have assigned rookie guard Gabe Pruitt to their NBA Development League affiliate Utah Flash. Pruitt is the team's second assignment to the NBA Development League this season.

Pruitt was averaging 2.0 points and 0.5 assists in 3.0 minutes per game at the time of the assignment. Pruitt appeared in two games this season for the Celtics and was on the inactive list for six games. Pruitt appeared in six preseason games for the Celtics averaging 2.6 points while shooting .444 percent from the field. Pruitt averaged 5.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 22.4 minutes per game during the 2007 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Good move. Pruitt needs time to develop his game. PG is a hard position to master in the NBA.

This def is a good move. I think Pruitt has played well in the minutes he's received so far, but further development will make him a solid PG. This may also mean that Ainge is looking at a PG. Considering we only have House, who is really a SG in PG body, and Tony who should never run the point ever again. LOL! I see rumors everywhere about Marbury coming here. Thoughts?

He wasn't going to receive playing time with our parent club, so it was good to send him down. At least he was here for a time to get acclimated to the atmosphere of a big time ballclub.

Pruitt needs to come back as a guy who's ready to knock down jumpers.

[The Eye of the Q is upon you!]

I want no part of Stephon Marbury even if he pays money to play with us. I'd take a chance on Tony Allen.

[Roadrunner]

Marbury is not the answer. A shoot first PG. Still doesn't live up to his hype of being a quality PG.

Pruitt really wants to get back with the Celtics. In his first game, he did his best to convince Ainge that he belongs up there with the parent team.
