Despite receiving interest from several European teams, the 28-year-old Ghanaian player accepted an offer in Japan, effectively making himself unavailable in the European market.

During the 2022-23 EuroLeague season, Bentil maintained an average of 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and an 8.3 PIR in 20 minutes of play.

He started the season impressively with 13.9 points and 5.9 rebounds, shooting 48% from beyond the three-point line in the first seven EuroLeague games.

In the Adriatic League, Bentil boasted an average of 8.7 points (42% 3P), 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and an 8.7 PIR in 17 minutes.
