Which players hurt or helped their stock with the Celtics in Las Vegas Summer League?
Which players hurt or helped their stock playing for the Boston Celtics in the NBA's 2025 Las Vegas Summer League? The Sin City Celtics were an interesting mix of players already on Boston's regular roster (Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh), the three incoming rookies that the Celtics took in the 2025 NBA draft (Amari Williams, Max Shulga, and of course Hugo Gonzalez), a player fighting for his spot from last season as a Boston two way player (Miles Norris), and a number of prospects looking to latch on with the Maine Celtics or to use the exposure to land a gig elsewhere. Which of them played their way into the role they were seeking, or further confirmed that they belong where they already are? Which of them hurt their chances of securing the basketball future they were aiming for, with the Celtics or otherwise? The hosts of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Can any of the Boston Celtics rookies make an impact next season?
The Summer League Celtics played their last game on Sunday, July 20, defeating the Atlanta Hawks 101-80 to end their time in Las Vegas with a 4-1 record. Throughout the mini-tournament, Celtics fans got a closer look at the team's new rookies, along with some second and third-year players trying to crack Joe Mazzulla's rotation. The overall impression was positive, as each of the three rookies showed flashes of their upside, along with an encouraging team-first mentality. Celtics fans also got to see some of the improvements Jordan Walsh has made to his game, and what Baylor Scheierman can do when asked to create for others. Despite some impressive moments from Boston's rookies, it's clear that all three are still a work in progress. During a recent episode of the "How 'Bout Them Celtics?" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance shared their thoughts on the rookie class and how they can improve and/or make an impact within Mazzulla's rotation once the 2025-26 season gets underway.

Why Jordan Walsh's third season with the Celtics is a 'make-or-break year'
Boston Celtics wing Jordan Walsh is no longer the new kid on the block for the Green Team. Although he's just 21 years old, Walsh is entering his third season in the NBA and is expected to take his game to the next level during the upcoming 2025-26 season. With Celtics star Jayson Tatum out indefinitely due to a devastating Achilles injury, Walsh will likely have more playing time. An anonymous Celtics coach is expecting the former second-round pick to take advantage of that newfound opportunity, as it could shape the rest of his NBA career, per Keith Smith of Spotrac. 'This is sort of a make-or-break year for him," the coach revealed. "The minutes will be there, if he takes them." Walsh looked up to the challenge in Las Vegas during Summer League, averaging 15 points with just 22.6 minutes per outing over the course of four games. He also contributed four rebounds and one steal per game while shooting a respectable 46.3% from the field. "This summer was a good start,' the anonymous Celtics coach said of Walsh's time in Sin City. The Dallas native now has the most points of any Summer Leaguer in Celtics history. Translating that success into the NBA's long and arduous regular season will be difficult, but Walsh will finally get the shot at real minutes that he's been waiting for.
