Hugo Gonzalez – Celtics fans will be watching for a big Summer League showing from Gonzalez. Hugo was the 28th pick in last year\u2019s draft. In last year\u2019s Summer League, he averaged 10.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He averaged 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14 minutes per game last season. His +11.9 rating was the highest for any rookie that played at least 100 minutes. Against the Raptors, he finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal. He shot just 18.8% from the field and 11.1% from beyond the arc but he showed off the motor and athleticism that have made him a Celtics fan favorite.<\/p>\n
Chris Cenac, Jr – Cenac was the 27th pick in this year\u2019s draft. He is 19 years old and was a highly recruited center going into his one season at Houston. He averaged 9.5 points and 7.9 rebounds in college, while shooting 48% from the field, 33% from beyond the arc and 62% from the line. He has a combination of size and athleticism that makes him a very intriguing player. He finished Friday\u2019s game with 14 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks while shooting 38.5% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
John Tonje – Tonje came to the Celtics as a 2-way player from Utah in the Chris Boucher trade at last year\u2019s deadline. At the end of last season, his contract was converted to a standard contract. His option wasn\u2019t picked up this season but the Celtics have two 2-way spots and a spot on the parent team to fill. On Friday, he finished with 20 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals while shooting 42.9% from the field anf 55.6% from beyond the arc. When most of his teammates were struggling on offense, Tonje kept them in the game with some key threes.
Amari Williams – Amari was the 46th pick in last year\u2019s draft. He spent most of last season on a 2-way deal but was converted to a standard contract at the end of last season. He averaged 1.4 points, and 1.8 rebounds in 6.6 minutes with Boston last year. He averaged 15.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.8 blocks with Maine last season. He has already been signed to a 2-way contract for this season. He was great against the Raptors, finishing with 23 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks while shooting 77.8% from the field with no 3\u2019s.
