The Boston Celtics signed 2025 NBA Draft pick Max Shulga to a two way deal, but will he play in the NBA this season? The former Virginia Commonwealth combo guard had himself a solid if unremarkable stint suiting up for the Sin City Celtics in the league’s 2025 Las Vegas Summer League after being picked up by Boston with the No. 57 overall pick of this year’s draft.
In a season that will see the Celtics mostly looking to develop younger players in pace of their usual pursuit of postseason wins, we can expect to see at least some of the cohort of young prospects taken by Boston in the draft this summer. Given Hugo Gonzalez, the Celtics’ No. 28 pick, will already be in competition for minutes not only with likely starters Payton Pritchard and Derrick White, new addition Anfernee Simons (if he isn’t traded first), and fellow Summer Celtics Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh, there may be little or even no run at the NBA level for Shulga.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over how much we can expect the VCU alum to play in Maine. Check it out below!
