Is star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown about to take another leap?
Is star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown about to take another leap as a player? With a season less than a decade of NBA experience under his belt coming into the Celtics' 2025-25 regular season campaign that will see the Georgia native take the helm of the Celtics as their best player while costar on the Jayson Tatum rehabs from a torn Achilles tendon, the opportunity will be there for Brown to showcase his complete package as a player. Whether or not he will have the level of supporting cast to do so is another question entirely with the departure of players like Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Luke Kornet. But could this scenario still provide the perfect palate for Brown to showcase his ability to lead a team nonetheless? The folks behind the "WEEI Boston's Sports Original" YouTube channel put together a clip from a recent episode of their "Greg Hill Show" touching on this specific topic. Check it out below!

Boston Celtics Down Lakers 87-78 as Scheierman's struggles continue
The Summer League Celtics took their record to 3-1 in Las Vegas with a 87-78 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, July 17. Baylor Scheierman's struggles from the field continued, as he went 2-of-14 for a field goal percentage of 14.3%. Fortunately, the sophomore wing chipped in with 6 assists, 5 rebounds and a steal to ensure he had a productive night. After being ejected in his last outing, Jordan Walsh was back to impressing for Matt Reynolds' roster. He shot 6-of-11 from the field, good for 17 points along with 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. Walsh has been one of the Celtics' best players out in Vegas. Another player who continues to impress is rookie Hugo Gonzalez, he put in another all-action display, with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and a block. He's already showing signs of being ready for an NBA rotation. With Charles Bassey no longer on the roster, after his three-game deal came to an end, the Celtics relied on Amari Williams (8 points, 6 rebounds) and Kenny Lofton Jr. (12 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists) to anchor the middle of the floor. Max Shulga struggled running the point guard position, and Miles Norris had a strong showing off the bench, going 5-for-11 from the field. Following their win, the Celtics will play one more game in Vegas. They will face the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, July 20. Watch the "Taylor Talks Celtics" podcast on: YouTube: Website:

Celtics Summer League standout leaves team after 3 games
LAS VEGAS — Celtics Summer League standout Charles Bassey is no longer with the team, the Celtics shared ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was always slated to play just three games, the team said, and had prior obligations the rest of the way. Bassey was one of the team's most consistent performers through three games. He opened up Summer League with a 14-point, 11-rebound performance in a Celtics' win over the Memphis Grizzlies, and followed that up with a 22-point, 13-rebound, 3-block performance over the New York Knicks. In Bassey's final game with the Celtics, he recorded 10 points and 9 rebounds. Bassey wasn't initially listed on the Celtics' Summer League roster, but was a last-minute addition. Summer league head coach Matt Reynolds said that Bassey missed the live portion of the first day of practice, but joined the team shorty after. After his debut, when asked what drew him to the opportunity, Bassey cited a reason several Summer League players have pointed to this summer: 'The culture.' Bassey's departure provides Amari Williams with more opportunity Bassey, who was on a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs last season, seemed like he could be a good fit to bolster the Celtics' frontcourt. But his departure opens up additional opportunity for Amari Williams, whom the Celtics selected with the 46th overall pick. Williams has appeared in two games so far during Summer League, playing 22 minutes in his debut and 16 minutes in the Celtics' second game. Additionally, forward/center Kenny Lofton — who recently won MVP of the Chinese Basketball Association — could see increased minutes in Bassey's absence.
