Will Bynum signs training camp contract with Boston Celtics

On August 19, 2005, Will Bynum signed a training camp contract with the Boston Celtics after going undrafted that summer. Bynum previously played at the University of Arizona and Georgia Tech, where he helped lead the team to the NCAA championship game. Despite his signing, he was cut from the roster on October 25, 2005, without playing in a game. Bynum later returned to the Celtics in 2014 but was waived again after two stints. The date also marks the birthday of Roy Rogers, who was drafted by the Celtics in 1996, and the passing of George Munroe, who played briefly for the team in 1947-48.
