NBA Draft Prospects: Ben Bentil has what the Pacers need

USA Today Sports' Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead has the Pacers selecting Ben Bentil at No. 20. Although they do not know it yet, this would be a dream come true for Pacers fans.

Meet Ben Bentil, a 6'9" 235 lb. product from Ghana. Bentil moved to the United States at the age of 15 in search of an American education. Not only did he bring a desire to learn, he brought his natural athletic abilities that earned him a spot on Delaware's First-Team All-State for soccer - according to Pacers.com writer Wheat Hotchkiss. Taking his footwork to the court, Ben found himself accepting a scholarship to play basketball for Providence.
