Hugo Gonzalez is the Boston Celtics secret weapon. Or at least that is the point of view of the folks behind the "NBA News" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at the Celtics' No. 28 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft and what he has shown for Boston so far this season.

They get into how Gonzalez was projected to go as high as a top-five pick in the draft at one point before slipping to the Celtics, what caused the slide, how he has fit into Boston's culture and style of play, his time playing in Europe for Real Madrid and what goes into his gritty, high-motor approach to basketball on the court.
