The Celtics cut the NCAA steal king, and will he appear in the NBA Development League next?

Basketball

According to Spotrac reporter Keith Smith, the Celtics are expected to cut Hayden Gray, the backcourt player who just signed this summer. After the draft this summer, the Celtics signed Gray from the University of California, San Diego with a training camp contract, who also represented the team in the NBA Summer League games. However, as the training camp was about to begin, the Celtics cut him off.

Grey was born in May 2003 and is 22 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 86kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA game last season, Gray played 35 games, averaging 32.1 points per game, with 11.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.1 steals and 0.2 blocks, 1.3 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 68.8%. With his outstanding performance, Gray was shortlisted for the second team of the Big West League All-Squad last season, the Big West Best Championship lineup last season, and also won the honor of the best defensive player. These honors are the greatest recognition and help for his outstanding performance. It is worth mentioning that Gray is also the NCAA's steals king last season. His per game is ahead of other players in a cliff-like manner, which can also show how high his contribution is on the defensive end.

Previously, Gray also represented the Celtics in the NBA Summer League. He played 2 games in the summer league, averaging 11 minutes per game, with averaging 3.5 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, 0.5 blocks, and 1 turnover and 1.5 fouls. He shot 75% from the field and 50% from three-point shooting percentage. Green did not get enough playing time and performance opportunities during the summer league, and his statistics lacked highlights. However, in fact, in his limited playing time, he still showed off his characteristics on the defensive end, and he is indeed a defender with very good abilities.

With the cut by the Celtics, we can basically be sure that Gray will appear in the lineup of the Celtics' subordinate team Maine Celtics after the start of the new season. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) rules, after waiting for the start of the NBA regular season in the new season, if Gray continues to choose to join the Maine Celtics and stays with the Maine Celtics for 60 days in the NBA Development League field in the new season, he will be able to get up to $85,300 from the Celtics. I don’t know what performance Gray, the new NCAA steals king, can perform in the NBA Development League field in the new season.
