Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta helped lead Portugal to the Round of 16 at EuroBasket for the first time in team history. While his evening ended early due to an ejection, he still finished with a team-high 15 points.
Queta's ability to consistently convert when he gets opportunities around the rim is a focal point of conversations surrounding his offseason development leading into his chance to start for the Celtics. In Portugal's 68-65 triumph over Estonia, he went 5/8. One of those misses was on his lone attempt from beyond the arc. He also swiped a steal and registered a rejection in the win.
