Hugo Gonzalez showed some all-around promise in his Summer League debut on Friday.
The Celtics’ 2025 first-round pick put up 12 points on 4 of 12 shooting to go with five assists, four rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in their 92-78 victory over the Grizzlies. Beyond the stat sheet, Gonzalez helped initiate the Celtics’ offense on several occasions and provided strong pressure on the Grizzlies’ ballhandlers.
In fact, Celtics Summer League head coach Matt Reynolds was impressed by the tone Gonzalez helped set defensively in Friday’s game.
“I would say Hugo and the whole team were just pressuring relentlessly the whole game,” Reynolds told reporters.
