Hugo González is chosen by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the Draft!

Before the 2025 NBA Draft, there were rumors that Hugo González could be chosen in the first round, and that's exactly what happened. The Spanish player from Real Madrid has been selected at the 28th position by none other than the Boston Celtics.

At 19 years old and 1.98 meters tall, he is a Spanish international and the gem of Real Madrid's youth academy. Both the Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs had shown interest in him, but it's ultimately the Massachusetts team that picked him.

He is a versatile player, a good defender with the ability to steal and block shots, very committed, and has the wingspan to defend multiple positions. In attack, he also shows versatility, with room for improvement in shooting but capable of assisting and creating opportunities for his teammates. His role in Real Madrid's first team this year has been limited; we will see if he can make the leap to a team in full rebuild mode with the Celtics.
