Celtics’ second round prospects at #32


With the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft in the books, Boston has made their first of two selections. Brad Stevens and the front office surprised many by taking 19-year-old Spanish prospect Hugo González from Real Madrid (SF, 6’6, 223 pounds).

Tonight, Boston find themselves drafting in the enviable second slot on Day 2 with the 32nd pick of the draft. The Minnesota Timberwolves will pick ahead of them and then the C’s will be on the clock.
