Get to know the roster with this quick primer.
Tyler Cook: The 6-foot-8, 255-pound forward has four seasons of G-League experience under his belt including stops with the Canton Charge, Iowa Wolves, Oklahoma City Blue, and Salt Lake City Stars. He played overseas in Spain for Joventut Badalona last season.
JD Davison: Davison, who averaged 21 points and fifth in the G-League in assists per game (8.5) last season, came to the Celtics as a second-round pick in 2022. His quickness and leaping ability helped him become a five-star prospect in high school, and emerged as an All-NBA G-League Third Team selection last season after going one and done at Alabama.
Tristan Enaruna: Enarnua signed an Exhibit-10 deal with the Celtics after going un-drafted this year. The two-time All-Horizon league selection averaged 19.6 points per game last season and is listed as a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward. He grew up in the Netherlands.
Ron Harper Jr.: The 6-foot-4, 233-pound guard averaged 13.8 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists last season for Raptors 905. He is the son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, who won titles with the Bulls and Lakers.
Jaelen House: The son of former Celtics guard Eddie House, who was a key reserve on the 2008 title team. The younger House began his college career at his father’s alma mater Arizona State before transferring to New Mexico State for his final three seasons. He averaged 15.9 points per game last season.
Drew Peterson: The Southern Cal product averaged 15.5 points and 5.6 rebounds for Maine last season. The 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward shot 45.9 percent from the field, 36.9 percent from 3-point range, and 81.5 percent from the free-throw line last season.
Neemias Queta: The 7-footer from Portugal played in 28 games for the Celtics last season, averaging 5.5 points and 2.5 rebounds. He was an All-NBA G-League First Team selection in 2023, averaging 14.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks while shooting 65.8 percent from the field.
Jahmi’us Ramsey: The 6-foot-3, 193-pound guard was an All NBA G-League Third Team selection. He averaged 22 points and 8.2 rebounds while shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 40.9 percent from 3-point range.
Baylor Scheierman: The 6-foot-6, 205-pound sharpshooter was the Celtics’ first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He was a First Team All-Big East and Third Team All-American selection at Crieghton last season. He shot 39 percent from 3-point range during his college career.
Jaden Springer: Springer was a first-round pick in 2021, when Philadelphia took him No. 28 overall. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound was the 2023 G-League Finals MVP and steals leader in 2023. The Celtics traded a second-round pick for Springer last year, and he played in 17 games for them.
Killian Tillie: The 6-foot-9 French forward last played in the NBA for Memphis in 2022. The Gonzaga product has spent the past two seasons recovering from injuries. He told Sports Illustrated in May that he is feeling healthy and looking forward to playing.
Jordan Walsh: At 20 years old, Walsh is the youngest player on the Celtics’ Summer League roster. Boston selected Walsh in the second-round last year, and he averaged 14.7 points to go with 7.5 assists for Maine last season. A lanky defender whom the Celtics hope to develop into a 3-and-D prospect, Walsh shot 36.1 percent from beyond the arc last season.
Anton Watson: Watson’s calling card is his defense. Celtics summer league coach DJ MacLeay said the 6-foot-8, 230-pound forward’s on-ball defense is “special”. But, the Celtics also want him to shoot more from the outside than he did in college (41.2 percent on 1.5 3-point attempts) last season. Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said he wants to see the All-WCC First Team selection “let it fly” this summer.
