Throughout the first three games of Las Vegas Summer League, Charles Bassey quickly endeared himself to Boston Celtics fans around the world. Currently, the Celtics frontcourt looks thin heading into the 2025-26 NBA season, and after some dominant showings, there was hope that Bassey could provide some depth and competition at the center position.

Now that summer league is concluding and the NBA officially begins its dark period, the stars from Las Vegas must be acknowledged because some unexpected players made big splashes.

How did the Celtics look at summer league? There's a new emphasis on being more aggressive and forcing turnovers for starters.

Nevertheless, Boston is expected to continue wheeling and dealing throughout the summer. Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang, two players the Celtics acquired via trades this summer, could be re-routed before the start of the season.

The Celtics stayed in control for the entire second half, pushing their lead up to double digits for the entire fourth quarter on their way to the comfortable win. The victory improves Boston to 3-1 in Las Vegas with one game looming in the consolation round this weekend.
