Hugo González

When the lights shine brightest, rookies either rise or fade. Hugo González, the 28th pick in the 2025 draft, chose to rise. With the Celtics and Nets deadlocked at 118 in the first overtime and just 0.4 seconds remaining, the rookie spots up in the corner. He catches Baylor Scheierman's pass and buries the three-pointer that sends this thriller to a second extra session. González finished with 10 points on perfect shooting from the field in Boston's eventual 130-126 victory.
