Celtics To Waive Chris Babb

The Celtics will waive former Iowa state guard Chris Babb, sources told Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com (via Twitter).  Releasing Babb brings the C’s roster down to 14 and keeps them out of luxury tax territory.

Babb, 23, went undrafted this past June and hooked on with the Celtics in late August after playing for the Suns’ summer league squad.  In his senior year at Iowa State, the 6’5″ guard averaged 9.1 PPG to go along with 38.2% shooting from three-point range.  Babb was always viewed as a longshot to make the C’s but he managed to outlast fellow camp invitees DeShawn Sims, Kammron Taylor, and Damen Bell-Holter by a few days.
