Even with both nights of the NBA Draft now in the past, the Boston Celtics are still adding young talent to their roster. According to Stockrisers’ Jake Weingarten, the Celtics have signed Houston guard Milos Uzan to a contract.
The details of said contract have yet to be made public, but, at the very least it would make sense for Uzan to join Boston’s Summer League squad in Las Vegas next month. It’s unclear if fans should expect to see Uzan repping a Celtics uniform beyond that, though.
The 23-year-old spent his final two collegiate seasons playing under head coach Kelvin Sampson at Houston. He helped the Cougars reach the national championship game as a junior and place second in the Big 12 as a senior, playing alongside Celtics first-round pick Chris Cenac Jr.

Uzan made 77 total appearances for Houston, starting in all of them. He averaged 11.2 points, 4.1 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game while shooting 41.6% from the field and 37.7% from deep.
What could Milos Uzan bring to the Celtics?
Uzan certainly has upside as an undrafted rookie. He is a strong playmaker, shoots well off the catch, and defends with a high IQ and motor.
It’s not hard to see his potential as a possible backup point guard option somewhere down the line for Boston. Uzan takes care of the basketball well. He logged an assist to turnover ratio of nearly 4:1 while he slung passes all over the court. Uzan’s vision is great out of the pick and roll, where he quickly makes his reads and finds the open man.
The Las Vegas native’s three-point shooting dipped to just 34.3% in his senior season, but overall his shot is seen as more of a strength than a weakness. If he were to stick with Boston, knocking down threes off the catch could be a crucial sticking point for him in the rotation -- along with defense.
This past season, Uzan ranked in the 98th percentile for DRPM (defensive regularized adjusted plus minus). He’s a good on-ball defender, who can switch onto larger players a bit. Not to mention that his effort levels never dip.
Now, no undrafted player is going to come without concerns. Uzan’s 190-pound frame could leave him vulnerable to being targeted by stronger players at the professional level. Plus, as a creator, he struggles to get downhill and create space from defenders.
Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see how he fits with some of Boston’s other young players at Summer League.
