The unbeaten Celtics now move on to face the unbeaten Indiana Pacers. The Pacers have beaten OKC 78-74 and Philly 69-63. Lance Stephenson has been starring for this Pacers team averaging 20.5 points per game. Other players to watch are Miles Plumlee and Orlando Johnson, both of whom are averaging 11.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.
Celtics fans have been pleased by what they have seen from their 2012 draft picks so far, with both Jared Sullinger and Kris Joseph impressing with their court sense and all around play. Fab Melo has shown some flashes on defense. The surprises have come from undrafted Dionte Christmas and Jonathan Gibson, both of whom have looked very good so far.
Doc and Danny have been present on the sidelines of both games observing the players and will be faced with some tough decisions. E'Twaun Moore and Sean Williams are playing for a contract. JaJuan Johnson is playing to show he deserves some minutes in the rotation. This year's draft picks are playing to show that they also belong in the rotation this season. And the undrafted players are trying to make a case that they deserve a chance on an NBA team.
This may be the Celtics toughest test yet. At the end of the day, one team will remain unbeaten and the other will have it's first defeat in Summer League play. Should be a fun game to watch.
