The Boston Celtics Summer League team features several promising young players like Hugo Gonzalez, Baylor Scheierman, and Jordan Walsh. However, the player that Celtics fans have been most impressed with thus far is a guy that isn’t even on the Boston roster.
Charles Bassey was a late addition to the Summer League team and impressed everyone with his rebounding and tenacity. Per Noa Dalzell:
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.
Per MassLive:
Bassey is an unrestricted free agent after playing his last three seasons with the Spurs. The 6-foot-10 big man has interested the Celtics dating back to last offseason, sources tell MassLive and there is a clear potential for opportunity in Boston after the offseason exits of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet and Al Horford.
So do you think the Celtics should sign the big man to a contract with the regular season team? Give us your thoughts in the comments below.
