Boston’s rookie class leaves positive first impressions in Summer League opener

After all three 2025 draft picks played over 20 minutes in their Summer League debuts, Celtics Summer League head coach Matt Reynolds instilled a lot of trust in the trio, who each played a part in a 92-78 win over the Memphis Grizzlies Friday afternoon.

First round pick Hugo González played a team-high 28 minutes, while second round selections Max Shulga and Amari Williams each made 21-minute starting appearances.

Experimenting with a faster pace and high pick-up points on the defensive end, the Celtics brought an electricity to Cox Pavilion in UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, starting with a first impression from González that showcased a little bit of everything the young wing has to offer.
