Preseason Celtics 105-107 Raptors. After the game, coach Mazzula was interviewed.

Talking about the role of Gonzalez, the 28th pick in the first round, Mazzula said: "His role is to do what we ask, and he has indeed done this. Specifically, we need to understand our offensive system: shoot when there is an opening, break through and attack the basket when there is no opening, and make correct offensive decisions."

"You also need to be able to complete those hard-working rounds - whether it is returning to defense in transition between offense and defense, rushing for offensive rebounds, or actively pressing the opponent's ball carrier. He is constantly doing better at these seemingly inconspicuous little things, and these details are crucial."

In this campaign, Gonzalez scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
