With the 28th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics selected Hugo González, making him our VA Hero of the Week!
The 19-year-old from Madrid, Spain played for the Euroleague’s Real Madrid last season, appearing in 57 games and averaging just eleven minutes per game. The 6’6” guard is described as a solid passer who plays at his own pace.
Adding to the excitement, González’s current team defended their ACB League Title just hours before his selection.
