The 6-foot-0 point guard has an uphill climb to make it into the NBA given his height but should be a solid addition to this iteration of the Summer Celtics.

As we inch closer to the annual NBA exhibition series, another name can be added to the 2023 Sin City Celtics’ roster, with new reporting from Mountain West Wire reporter Sean Paul on the latest player to join the Boston Celtics‘ 2023 Las Vegas Summer League squad.

Per Paul: “Eugene German has committed to play Summer League with the … Celtics” and “averaged 24.5 points, five rebounds, (and) four assists” while playing for the Qingdao Eagles in the Chinese Basketball Association last season. German “played against numerous former NBA players like Jared Sullinger, Marshon Brooks (and) Jordan Crawford” during his time there.

The 6-foot point guard has an uphill climb to make it into the NBA given his height but should be a solid addition to this iteration of the summer Celtics.

With some luck, the former Northern Illinois player can leverage the opportunity to earn a bigger paycheck in his next stop whether he lands on a two-way contract or parlays the gig into a deal overseas.
