The Boston Celtics might not have won their first game of the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League after falling to the Miami Heat 99-88, but the Sin City Celtics provided an excellent vehicle to get a closer look at how a number of prospects for the team’s future two way and depth roster spots played together under a Boston assistant coach in Tony Dobbins.
Boston’s No. 38 pick of the 2023 NBA draft Jordan Walsh had an excellent debut with 18 points fueled by 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc, Celtics two way floor general JD Davison had a double-double of 14 points and 11 assists, while free agent guard Jay Scrubb pitched in another 17 points off fo the bench.
To see the tilt for yourself as well as solid outings from forward Justin Bean, center Olek Balcerowski, and forward Justin Champagnie, take a look at the highlight clip put together by the NBA’s official Youtube channel that we’ve embedded below.
Boston had a solid showing nearly from tip to buzzer with the ball club letting go of the rope late in the fourth quarter. https://t.co/qm9GqyjoSU
