The real purpose of the week is to start the process of finding out if any of the young players on the roster have a chance of sticking at the NBA level.
It’s still early, but so far it appears that the Celtics may have found a keeper with second-round pick Luke Harangody.
“I felt it [the week] went really well, except for the record we had,” said Harangody on Friday after an 86-68 loss to the Nets. “Personally, I thought it was a good week.”
The Notre Dame alum led the Celtics for the week with 16.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. The forward shot 47.1% from the floor and 50.0% on 3-point attempts. His level of physicality, a trademark in his Big East days, translated well over the five games.
Oklahoma City assistant coach Brian Keefe ran the Thunder summer league squad. He watched Harangody score 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting against his club on Monday.
“He looked like an NBA player to me,” Keefe said. “He made some shots and was really aggressive.”

if he can play D is a good power 3 from the bench, else another undersized 4...
Yeah, I agree.
But if he can light it up on a regular basis, who knows, that might be nice coming off the bench, too.
