Starting a new Maine Celtics Thread. The last one did us well, for 4 good years.
Looks like we're going to have a whole new Crew, between Maine Regulars, Affiliates, Two-Ways and Assignees.

The NBA G League is getting bigger in more ways than one.

For the first time, eight teams from each conference will qualify for the playoffs, expanding the postseason field from six per side to eight.

That means more teams, more games and more opportunities for prospects to show what they can do in meaningful minutes.

Noa Dalzell:

The following 9 players are expected to play for the Maine Celtics next season under head coach Phil Pressey, per sources:

Ron Harper Jr
Jalen Bridges
Kendall Brown
Aaron Scott
Hayden Gray
Hason Ward
RJ Luis
Amari Williams
Max Shulga


Add in Hugo Gonzalez probably, and that has the makings of a pretty good team— really good if the two-wayers are worth their contracts. I'm glad Hason Ward returned. He's a fun player.

Who’s the starters here? Shulga, Luis, Harper, Bridges, then one of Ward or Williams?

Seems like Harper is the most experienced guy on the team at this point.

Ron Harper Jr. (guard/forward)

Image

Ron Harper Jr. has signed an Exhibit 10 contract for the second season with the Celtics, as first reported by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Harper Jr, the older brother of No. 2 pick Dylan Harper, played at Rutgers for four seasons and went undrafted in 2022. He averaged 12.6 points on 43.9% shooting in college. The 25-year-old is a versatile scorer who can create his own offense, while also being a catch-and-shoot threat.

Harper was on the Celtics 2024 Summer League team and on the Maine Celtics last year. He left Maine in January after being offered a two-way contract by the Detroit Pistons, but was waived by the Pistons in July. He rejoins the Celtics organization this fall.




Jalen Bridges (forward)

Image

Jalen Bridges was a member of the Celtics Summer League team in 2025, appearing in 4 games and averaging 8 points on 44.4% shooting and 3 rebounds.

The 24-year-old went undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft after a collegiate career that included two seasons at West Virginia and two seasons at Baylor. Bridges was a strong defender in college who seems slated to be a 3&D player in the NBA. He can move well without the ball and is a good cutter.

After going undrafted, he signed a two-way contract with the Phoenix Suns....

Now, he gets another opportunity in Boston.




Kendall Brown (forward/guard)

Image

Kendall Brown was a member of the Celtics Summer League team in 2025, appearing in 5 games. He averaged 8.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1 assist per game, and shot 69.2% from the floor.

“I saw consistent energy — he’s a guy that knows his role,” Summer League head coach Matt Reynolds said. “For the most part, he’s elevated our team. Every time he’s been in the game, he’s been pretty high energy. He’s almost guaranteed to get one or two transition baskets — pretty savvy defensive player, active.”




Aaron Scott (guard)

Image

Aaron Scott was a member of the Celtics Summer League team in 2025, appearing in 2 games. In the last Summer League game, he tallied 9 rebounds (7 offensive), 3 assists, a steal, and a block in 18 minutes off the bench.

“That’s exactly the type of player he is,” Reynolds said of Scott’s rebounding. “It’s not the easiest thing to do — to sit for essentially four games, come in and just be a relentless crasher.”

Scott went undrafted this past season after a standout year at St. John’s that saw him average 8.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Prior to that season, he spent three years at North Texas.

The 6’6 wing is looking to carve out a 3&D role in the NBA.




Hayden Gray (guard)

Image

Hayden Gray was also a member of the Celtics 2025 Summer League team, averaging 3.5 points on 75% shooting in 11 minutes across two games. As first reported by CelticsBlog, he signed with the Maine Celtics shortly after

Gray was the NCAA’s leader in steals last year, averaging 11.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 3.1 steals at UC San Diego. While his biggest strength is on the defensive side of the ball, Gray shot 41.8% from three-point range last season.




Hason Ward (forward)

Image

Hason Ward is another returner from last year’s Maine Celtics roster (who was also with the Boston Celtics for training camp). Last year, the 24-year-old averaged 8.4 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game in 34 games with the Maine Celtics. Ward, who has a 7’4 wingspan, was one of the best shotblockers in the G League.

This past summer, Ward was a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 2025 Summer League, appearing in 4 games and averaging 5 points and 2 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per night.

Before going undrafted in 2024, Ward spent three seasons at VCU and two at Iowa State. He averaged 5.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game in his five-year NCAA career.



The Celtics’ rookies will also play in Maine



RJ Luis Jr. (Shooting guard/Small forward)

Image

RJ Luis Jr., who is currently on a two-way contract after being acquired from the Utah Jazz in a trade last month.
He played college basketball for the St. John's Red Storm and UMass Minutemen.

Luis Jr. is the first ever NBA player of Ecuadorian origin.




Amari Williams (Center/Power forward)

Image

Amari Williams, who signed a two-way contract after being drafted by the Celtics with the No. 46 pick.
Williams averaged 6.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.5 blocks per game for Boston in Summer League. He shot 44.4% from the field and committed two turnovers per game.




Max Shulga (Point guard/Shooting guard)

Image

Maksym Shulga, who signed a two-way contract after being drafted by the Celtics with the No. 57 pick, is a Ukrainian professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics, on a two-way contract with the Maine Celtics of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Utah State Aggies and the VCU Rams. In the 2025 NBA draft, he was selected with the 57th overall pick by the Orlando Magic.




Hugo González (Shooting guard)

Image

Hugo (Oogo) González
Real Madrid (2022–2025)
On 2 October 2022, González made his professional debut with Real Madrid in the Liga ACB against Monbus Obradoiro.[3] He spent 3:08 minutes on the court, contributing with 4 points and a PIR of 5 in the Real Madrid win. At 16 years, 7 months, and 27 days old, he became the fourth-youngest Real Madrid player to debut in the ACB.[4]

Boston Celtics (2025–present)
On 25 June 2025, González was selected with the 28th overall pick by the Boston Celtics in the 2025 NBA draft.[5] González joined the Celtics summer league team for the 2025 NBA Summer League held in Las Vegas.
It’s also very likely that No. 28 pick Hugo Gonzalez will spend time in Maine

Yeah I expect Hugo plays like 30 games in G league inlet he really dazzles Joe.
Probably Scheierman plays some as well. Walsh and Minott are too good.

I'd go Shulga, Gonzalez, Harper, Bridges, Williams.
Gray, Luis, Brown, Scott, Ward

That's a nice 2 Squads. They should do really well.
I think that Jay Scrubb may come back, too.

Hmm that's a good point prob more minutes in Maine than Boston for ol' 'Ugo.

And agree that should be a pretty fun team all around.

Last year for the first half of the season, the Maine Celtics mostly had Scheierman come off the bench to familiarize him to his role in Boston. The second half of the season, they started him. They might do the same with Hugo.

Valid point. I'd want to pair Luis and Scott as much as possible coming in with familiarity playing together at St. Johns.

I would think Luis would start. Like, I can't imagine 2 guys who are just on regular g league contracts, not even on a 2-way (Harper, Bridges) would start over a guy on a 2-way who we just traded for.

That lineup looks good, but I would think Luis starts and the 5th spot is a battle between Harper, Bridges and Brown.

What do y'all think about Ward Starting at Power Forward (assuming he has an Out, from the CEBL)?

Edit:
Nevermind, the CEBL Season Ends in August.

Ward doesn't shoot, right? And neither does Amari.

I would think you'd have to stagger them for the most part. Amari starting with Ward off the bench.

Some games Amari will be with the big club and maybe Ward starts then..
