What happened: Boston Celtics prospects Hugo Gonzalez and Amari Williams showcased expanded skill sets during the Las Vegas Summer League. Gonzalez assumed primary shot-creation duties, while Williams demonstrated consistent rim protection and rebounding.

Why it matters: The developmental strides offer Boston potential rotational depth as the center market continues to command significant financial commitments. If Gonzalez can translate his secondary creation and defensive versatility to the regular season, the wing could carve out a consistent role.

By the numbers: Gonzalez averaged 5.7 assists to 3.7 turnovers per game while anchoring a plus-34 point differential. The Celtics were minus-28 during the minutes the 20-year-old sat.

What to watch: Both prospects will look to solidify regular-season roster positioning when Boston opens training camp this fall.
