With the signing of Sam Cassell, the Celtics no longer need to keep Gabe Pruitt in Boston as an insurance policy and have re-assigned him to their D-League affiliate, the Utah Flash.
Pruitt has size for a point guard and in his few brief stints with the Celtics this season, he showed some good things. I like the move to send him back to the D-League where he will at least get some playing time. I think Rondo and Pruitt will be a very good 1-2 punch at the point for years to come but for now, Sam Cassell is a much needed veteran to back up and Pruitt is gaining some much needed experience.
