Here’s Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens on why the organization selected Hugo Gonzalez 28th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft (turned 19-years-old back in early February).
(via Boston Celtics):
“We’ve been watching Hugo for a long time. He’s obviously been on everybody’s radar I think for a long time, and then followed his year with a great Real Madrid organization and team closely and watched him in all the U18s and those types of things, and just a big fan of how he plays. He’s tough. He’s hard-playing. He cuts. He goes after the ball. He competes. He’s got all the intangibles of a winning basketball player. There’s things he can get better at just like everybody else at that age, but competitiveness — it’s at a high level.”
