00:00Last thing, anything jump out or worthwhile from Summer League so far?

00:03Yeah, I think Charles Bass, he's the one to look at

00:04because he's come off the street and has given you an opportunity

00:08to sign somebody as a big man.

00:10Like we've been talking about over the last hour here.

00:12Like, you know, he could take a minimum

00:14and he'd still be under the second apron.

00:16And it makes a lot of sense.

00:17I mean, there's a reason he's available, right?

00:19You see some kind of gaps and whatever that he has when he's on the floor.

00:22Obviously, there's been an injury history as well.

00:24But this is a guy that, you know, kind of fell on your lap.

00:27He tried out with a worked out with the Celtics,

00:29decided to play with the team.

00:30And now he's been probably your best player in Summer League this year.

00:33So, yeah, I mean, I think there's some interest there.

00:35I'd be shocked if he doesn't at least get an invite to camp.

00:38But you got to act quick because I think teams are going to be interested in him.

00:41There's always going to be interest in any kind of big man

00:43that can come in and contribute.

00:45I also like what I've seen from Hugo Gonzalez as well.

00:47I just like the confidence he plays.

00:48Yeah, some of the highlights you put out there.

00:50Yeah, I mean, first team especially.

00:52His debut was terrific.

00:53He's running around.

00:54It's everything that's advertised defensively.

00:56Offensively, he's not afraid to shoot the ball.

00:58I know his splits and his percentages aren't great shooting the ball,

01:00but he's not afraid to jack him up.

01:02And that's how you stay on the floor with the Celtics.

01:04Just shoot the ball.

01:05Just shoot it.

01:06That's what you want.

01:07You can listen to that.

01:07You can work.

01:08Like, the Celtics have had plenty of guys

01:09that have just figured out their shots over the years.

01:12Look at Derek White.

01:13Oh, they got a ton of guys that weren't shooters.

01:15Jalen Brown wasn't a shooter.

01:16Even Tatum really wasn't a shooter.

01:17Al Horford.

01:17Like, granted, that was a big process over the course of his career,

01:23but they made him into a respectable shooter.

01:25Like, they can kind of transform this kid.

01:27And I think everything's been advertised with the motor he plays with,

01:30the defense that he has.

01:31Like, he's going to be fun to watch.

01:33I think you need to have this guy in the rotation this year

01:35because he could contribute.
