Boston – when the Celtics took Hugo Gonzalez In the 28th general position of the 2025 project, most fans had not seen him play much. He was buried in the depth graph of Real Madrid, so the 19 -year perspective had to win all the playing time he could achieve.
Now Gonzalez has been to Boston during the past week, as he has worked with the Celtics of Summer League in the center of Auerbach. Has already made an impression to Jordan Walsh, who enters his third season with the Celtics.
“He plays strong, as really hard,” Walsh said. “The fans will love them. He plays strongly. He goes into the ground. It’s a defensive threat. He attacks the edge strongly. I think everyone knows it, but it’s my first time I see him play.
21 -year -old Walsh was in a place similar to Gonzalez’s when he was written in 2023 after a season in Arkansas. At that time, Walsh was the 19 -year -old, for the first time in the Summer League practices. Walsh has to play more of the veteran role, as he has gone through the experience of Vegas in the last two summers.
Gonzalez said he is not sure of how many games will play in Las Vegas. He admitted that it has been a hard duration in recent weeks as he acclimatized -in his new environment in Boston. Gonzalez won the ACB League title with Real Madrid the same night he was written. A few days later he flew to Boston. Now, it is in the midst of practices.
“The biggest adjustment is to try to manage this three-point line, it’s really far,” said Gonzalez. “To handle with the lines, not to step on the white lines. Trying to adjust -also to the rhythm and to the rhythm is something else compared to Europe. I only try to adapt -to me. I think it is well suited, so I’m really excited to go to the court.”
Celtics fans should have at least one vision of Gonzalez throughout the Summer League, although it will depend on how many games he plays. He still works on his three -point shot, but his energy and rhythm stayed at the first process office.
Despite Gonzalez’s age, he will play this coming season in the state with the Celtics. There was a possibility that he could have been a player of the draft and the Stesa, but the organization takes him immediately, as he has already signed his novio contract. It is now a hard work, as the Celtics expect it to develop in a collaborator.
“I am grateful for the whole organization because I know it is difficult to be in a new place, being a foreign player, it is even more difficult,” said Gonzalez. “All the people here have done a very good job with me. I am very grateful for it. Then teammates, Jordan, Baylor (Scheierman), Miles (Norris), are only trying to get me as soon as possible for the Summer League.”
