The Boston Celtics appear to have struck gold when they drafted rookie Hugo Gonzalez in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. Fans of the storied ball club grumbled about Boston using a first round pick on the Madrid, Spain native despite the little playing time Gonzalez had at his last stop with Real Madrid.
But since Celtics fans have had a chance to see Gonzalez in live game action in Las Vegas Summer League, preseason, and even starting a game early in the 2025-26 NBA regular season, opinions have largely done a 180. His frenetic energy, fierce pursuit of the ball, and uncanny ability to put himself wherever the thick of the action is, Boston fans simply cannot get enough of him.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Still Poddable” podcast, Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!
