For the new look Celtics, the quick transition from the NBA Draft just days earlier to playing summer league basketball starting July 5 will be a daunting task.
Second round point guards from this draft Carsen Edwards and Tremont Waters look to get ample playing time under coach Scott Morrison (assistant to C’s and also coaches G-League affiliate Maine Red Claws) while first round forward Grant Williams is in position to man the wing and all positions with his versatile skill set.
As the roster fills out in the coming days, the Celtics are still debating whether lottery pick Romeo Langford will be able to get some time on the court due to a hand injury sustained this past season with Indiana.
Aside from the four draft picks, Boston is looking to retain some summer league players from the past season and also acquire veterans that can potentially make an impact. One journeyman that reports have confirmed is joining the Celtics is former Kentucky guard Aaron Harrison.
Below is the summer league schedule for the Celtics, as it tips off July 5 in Las Vegas and runs to July 15.
