Boston Celtics Select Hugo González with 28th Pick in First Round of NBA Draft

  • On Wednesday night, the Boston Celtics used their first-round selection to draft 19-year-old Spanish wing Hugo Gonzalez with the 28th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
  • Gonzalez spent the 2024-25 season playing off the bench for Real Madrid in the EuroLeague, where he averaged about five points in limited minutes and gained experience in a top international league.
  • Known for his defensive versatility, physical tools, and intensity, Gonzalez joins a Celtics roster with six guards and will focus on developing his jump shot to fit coach Joe Mazzulla's system.
  • Brad Stevens, the Celtics' president of basketball operations, commended Gonzalez for his toughness, competitive nature, and the key qualities that contribute to a successful basketball player.
  • With offseason trades of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, Boston projects a 14-player roster, and Gonzalez could contribute sooner as the team faces uncertainties and expects minutes for younger players next season.
