Gonzalez enters his second NBA season after spending his rookie campaign adjusting to the Celtics' veteran roster following his arrival from Real Madrid. While his offensive role remained limited, the 6-foot-7 wing flashed the defensive versatility, athleticism and high motor that made him a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, averaging 3.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.6 steals per game while shooting 36.2 percent from three-point range. Boston's roster still presents stiff competition for minutes, and it remains to be seen whether Gonzalez will secure a starting role in 2026-27, as he's competing with Baylor Scheierman for the starting SG role. His fantasy appeal remains rooted in his potential to contribute across multiple categories rather than high-volume scoring, but he's not expected to offer much upside in redraft formats unless he wins the starting role. He's still an intriguing dynasty stash thanks to his defensive upside and long-term developmental trajectory, but in standard leagues, he's better suited to be a player worth keeping close tabs on in the waiver wire.
