Amari Williams played some PG.
He may yet, get into the Regular League.

Gregg has been more impressive to me than A Williams. Should be interesting to see what the Celtics do with Gregg

Gregg already signed on to play for an overseas team next season.

Just one season, so he'll probably try to make it back.

Kenneth Lofton Jr. had a prior commitment. That’s why he couldn’t play in the Celtics’ Summer League finale.

Well, I hope Lofton at least gets a training camp invite. I enjoy watching him play.

Amari is a project.

But he could end up becoming a contributor in 2 or 3 years.

He has playmaking skills.

The Celtics have signed Hayden Gray to a contract with the Maine Celtics, a source told CelticsBlog. Gray led the NCAA in steals last season, averaging 10.1 points, 3.3 assists, and 3.1 steals per game for UC San Diego.

Signing Bassey to a vet min deal is equivalent to the Celtics signing a $15 million player because of the repeater tax. Celtics would have to pay $15 million. That should give you your answer.

They would still get under the second apron at some point id they signeed bassy. Not worried about then getting under second apron. They can cut Davidson or Walsh right now, sign basset and be under. So lets be clear here on that. We’ll see what Bassy gets either here or somewhere else.

Awesome. He's fun to watch. Very active. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

Up: Brown, Bridges, Wong, Gray, Gregg, and half of Amari Williams

neutral: Hugo and half of Miles Norris

Down and out: Shulga. My man played five SL games without making one single play to make me interested in him. Being the 57th pick should carry no weight — please cut bait with this guy by sunrise, Brad!

Coach Reynolds does not share your opinion.

In five games in Sin City, he only averaged 0.6 turnovers. Shulga effectively got the Celtics into their offense and smoothly orchestrated the pick-and-roll.

After Boston's Summer League finale, a 101-80 victory vs. the Atlanta Hawks, assistant coach Matt Reynolds, the team's bench boss in Sin City, shared with Hardwood Houdini what he wants Shulga to focus on between now and training camp.

"I think he's going to have a mixed bag of offensive responsibility as a primary or secondary playmaker," voiced Reynolds. "I think he had a pretty good, consistent floor game creating for others.

"I think most of the shots he took, I love, and I expect him to make at a higher frequency going forward. But I think in a general sense, it was a really good start for him, and we're pretty excited to have him."

Our team leader in BPM was Bassey, followed by Bridges. And Shulga was our only rookie with a positive BPM:

I don't think BPM is very useful on such a small sample size, and summer league is not a good indicator for NBA performance but figured I'd post it anyways..

I like Bridges if we had a roster or 2-way spot.

Shulga I can't get worked up about in either direction. He seems fine and could be a competent guy at some point. I really don't get the hate for him, but also if we lost him and he hits his peak elsewhere, I doubt I'll consider it a huge mistake. I'd consider keeping Bridges over him (due to size) for the last 2-way, but doubt that happens.
