What should we grade the Boston Celtics selection of Spanish small forward Hugo Gonzalez with the 28th overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft? The Celtics surprised some of their fans by skipping past promising players like Maxime Raynaud, Ryan Kalkbrenner, Rasheer Fleming and Liam McNeely, instead electing to go with a 19-year-old wing prospect from Madrid, Spain who played last season for EuroLeague powerhouse Real Madrid.

And while Gonzalez did not get on the floor enough to log particularly impressive stat lines, he also earned 10 minutes per game with the club while showing off the bounce and grit that caught the Celtics interest in the first place. So how should we grade the pick for Boston, given where they could have gone instead?

The folks behind the “CBS Sports” YouTube channel put together a clip of their assessment of the Celtics’ 2025 NBA draft first round selection. Check it out below to see it for yourself.
