The Summer League is coming up for the Boston Celtics in a couple of days. Las Vegas will serve as a showcase for some of their younger talent. Multiple players who could be in the team's rotation next season will participate in the Summer League.
Those players include Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams, and Max Shulga, all of whom the Celtics have drafted over the last three years.
With Jayson Tatum out indefinitely, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Luke Kornet off the team either because of trades or free agency, Boston will get an inside look at who could replace them in the rotation when the Summer League commences.
With the Las Vegas Summer League starting on July 20, the Celtics have released pictures and short clips of the team's practices on their official X and Instagram accounts. Walsh, Scheierman, and Gonzalez are among the players featured in the clips.
Following a clip of Gonzalez scoring on Walsh while using a Eurostep, which was reposted by the X account "Pull up shoot," Celtics fans were ecstatic about the rookie's NBA potential.
"Y’all Is cooked Hugo might be HIM," another claimed.
"Oh you mean Hugo 'steal of the draft' Gonzalez?" another asked.
Other Celtics fans went as far as comparing Gonzalez to Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic.
"Watch Hugo turn into a Luka type," one wrote.
"We really got Luka Doncic with defense," another claimed.
Gonzalez being compared to Doncic largely stems from the fact that both played for Real Madrid before they were drafted into the NBA.
