(Celtics.com)The Celtics won their summer league opener Friday night beating the Portland Trailblazers 74-66. The game gave Celtics fans their first looks at draft picks Gabe Pruitt and Glen Davis. However, overshadowing their pro debuts was the debut of Greg Oden, the #1 overall pick, and a player that has been on the radar of Celtic fans for quite some time.
Though it was just a summer league game, it was entertaining nonetheless, with players like Gerald Green entertaining the crowd and Oden throwing down some vicious blocks. Despite this though, Oden finished with 10 fouls. Welcome to the NBA big guy.
For the C's, the game was all about Leon Powe. The 2nd year power foward out of Cal had a great game putting in 19 points and gathering up 9 rebounds. It's only summer league, but Powe showed that he's definitely capable of making an impact. The only question is how many minutes he gets next year with players like Davis and Ryan Gomes in the fold.
The Celtics play their next game today against San Antonio at 4 p.m. FSN will broadcast the game live and NBA.com is streaming. See you tomorrow for a recap.
