Did the Boston Celtics miss by taking Spanish forward Hugo Gonzalez in the 2025 NBA draft? There were some surprising talents left on the board when Boston was on the clock with the No. 28 overall pick of the draft on Wednesday night, exciting fans of the team. But the Celtics went with a lesser-known talent last playing for EuroLeague squad Real Madrid, his considerable but still untapped upside the main draw.
And to be clear, the vision for the upside play is obvious. If Gonzalez can add a reliable jumper to his high-energy, hyper-athletic game, the combination of his rim-attacking approach to the game with an outside shot could make him the steal of the 2025 draft.
The folks behind the "New England Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Boston has Entered the Chat" podcast to talk over the pick. Check it out below to hear their thoughts for yourself.
