The Maine Celtics have acquired veteran swingman Tony Snell from the G League’s player pool, the team announced in a press release.
Snell has been a free agent since finishing last season with the Pelicans. He had a workout in November with the Lakers and now turns to the G League in his effort to get back to the NBA.
The 31-year-old has appeared in 601 games in his nine-year NBA career, with averages of 6.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per night. He’s a career 39.4% shooter from three-point range and hopes to show teams that he’s still an effective marksman from long distance.
Snell spent three seasons with the Bulls after being selected with the 20th pick in the 2013 draft. He was traded to the Bucks in 2016, to the Pistons in 2019 and to the Hawks in 2020. After signing with the Trail Blazers as a free agent in 2021, he was traded again last season, being sent to New Orleans at the deadline.
Tony (young Kawhi) Snell, Kendall Williams, Cam Bairstow, Alex Kirk & a few guys I can’t remember rn were 1 of my fav squads at UNM back in the day. Mountain West Conf was low-key loaded back in those days. I hear UNM got a pretty strong squad this yr but haven’t checked em out yet. Lobos always 1 of my fav teams to root for
cam bairstow and tony snell are my favorite bulls players all time
DRose, MJ, Nocioni, Hodges & Artest prob be my top5 fav Bulls off top of my head
Mine are kukoc, Deng, pip, worm and bj armstrong
Snell has the slowest release in history, he looks like somebody put the film in slo-mo
He would be in the league easy if there were 32 teams.
If all teams were trying to win this year he’s gon be on some roster.
When is the last time he missed a free throw
