Former Iowa State basketball player Chris Babb made recent news last week, after signing with the Boston Celtics. Last Monday the Boston Celtics signed Babb to a multi-year deal after waiving Shavlik Randolph. For the time being, Babb will stay with the Red Claws to help his team in the playoffs that began last Tuesday. In the 45 games that Babb played in this season for Maine, he averaged 15.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and played over 34 minutes each game. Babb and another former Cyclone Diante Garrett were each were selected for the 2015 D-League All-Star Game held back on February 15th. Babb's new deal does not come with any guarantees, but it will keep him under Celtics control through the offseason and give him a chance to earn a roster spot for next season.
While Chris was making national headlines last week, younger brother Nick Babb made local headlines after announcing he would be transferring to Iowa State next year. Nick is following in his brothers footsteps transferring to Iowa State like Chris when he left Penn State after his sophomore year. Nick will have to sit out a year due to NCAA transfer rules, but will have 3 years of eligibility remaining. Hopefully Nick can find success on the floor at Iowa State, and be the 3 and D specialist like Chris to help the Cyclones get back to another Sweet Sixteen or further.
