Bassey Dominates as Celtics Handle Knicks

The Boston Celtics leaned on a dominant performance from big man Charles Bassey to secure a Summer League win over the New York Knicks. 

Bassey finished with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks, shooting 8-for-12 from the field and a perfect 6-for-6 from the line, showing why he continues to be one of the most efficient and productive bigs in Summer League play.

Julian Walsh added another strong two-way showing for Boston despite struggling from the field. Walsh scored 13 points on just 2-of-10 shooting but drew plenty of contact, hitting 8 of 11 free throws while adding 4 rebounds and 2 assists. 

Meanwhile, Baylor Scheierman contributed across the board, finishing with 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, though he also struggled to connect from three (1-for-7).

For the Knicks, inefficiency plagued key contributors. Pacôme Dadiet scored just 7 points on 3-of-11 shooting and hit only 1 of 5 threes. 

Ariel Hukporti did work on the glass with 13 rebounds but was quiet offensively with just 9 points and 5 turnovers. 

Point guard Tyler Kolek had perhaps the roughest night, shooting 1-for-13 and missing all six of his three-point attempts while finishing with only 3 points and 4 assists.

Kevin McCullar Jr. was the lone bright spot for New York, exploding for 30 points on 10-of-15 shooting, showing his shot creation and aggressiveness at the rim.

Scout’s Take:

Bassey continues to dominate with his interior scoring and rebounding. Walsh and Scheierman both bring intriguing versatility despite inefficient shooting. For the Knicks, McCullar remains a standout, but Dadiet, Hukporti, and Kolek will need to find their rhythm if they want to secure roles.

Michael Misa Could Fill Sharks’ Biggest Need Down the Middle The San Jose Sharks have been busy this offseason, adding veteran talent on the wings through trades and free agency — but one glaring hole remains at center. And they may already have the answer. Much of the offseason speculation in San Jose has centered on whether No. 2 overall pick Michael Misa will make the jump to the NHL this fall. Looking at the Sharks’ current roster, there’s certainly a spot waiting if he’s ready. Misa projects as a natural center, though his versatility allows him to shift to the wing if needed. With the Sharks’ deep stable of wingers, that likely won’t be necessary right away — especially with the center depth chart in need of a boost. Wings Stacked, Center Thin San Jose loaded up on the flanks this summer, trading for rugged right winger Ryan Reaves and signing Philipp Kurashev to join Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette. On the left, the newly signed Jeff Skinner brings scoring punch alongside ...
