Celtics Close Summer League With Roster Decisions Looming
The Celtics wrapped up Summer League play with a 103‑97 loss to the Magic, leaving the front office a handful of roster decisions before training camp opens.
Hugo Gonzalez, Chris Cenac and Dillon Mitchell watched the finale from the bench, giving the coaching staff an extended look at Amari Williams, Milos Uzan, Tucker DeVries and John Tonje.
Williams Shows High‑Post Playmaking Potential
Williams remains on a two‑way contract that lets him split time between Boston and Maine while staying eligible for up to fifty NBA games.
He has shown a willingness to operate outside the restricted area and to use his six‑eleven frame as a high‑post hub.
A back‑cut hockey assist in the finale highlighted his playmaking instinct.
The gap between a flashy pass and a reliable half‑court creator is still wide, but the organization has another year to evaluate the development.
Uzan Demonstrates Point‑Guard Instincts
Uzan earned an Exhibit 10 deal and is expected to join the Maine affiliate.
He averaged nine points per game over five contests.
He also averaged four rebounds and four assists per game.
In the finale he scored nine points in seventeen minutes.
His long‑term spot depends on whether Mitchell signs a standard contract or a two‑way deal.
DeVries Proves Perimeter Threat
DeVries also holds an Exhibit 10 contract and projects as a perimeter shooter.
He made three three‑pointers in the finale.
He attempted six three‑pointers in the game.
He finished the summer nine of twenty‑seven from distance.
His college career featured a thirty‑six percent three‑point rate, and reaching the forty‑percent threshold would make him a viable NBA option.
