Celtics sign championship veteran Buchel, Raptors substitute king airborne Boston

NBA powerhouse Boston Celtics officially announced that the team has officially signed free agent and experienced striker Chris Buchel. According to the team's consistent policy, the specific details of the contract have not been made public.

This 32-year-old Saint Lucia is no ordinary person. He landed in Boston with two shiny championship rings (2018 Warriors, 2019 Raptors). What is even more impressive is that Buchel left an indelible mark in the history of the Raptors - he is the scoring, rebounding and blocking king on the bench in the history of the team, while maintaining the highest number of substitutes and time, and is the most reliable "gangster" on the bench.

Looking at his 8-year NBA career (1 year for the Warriors and 7 years for the Raptors), Buchel played 407 games (only 23 starts), effectively contributing 8.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in a limited average of 17.7 minutes, perfectly interpreting the value of a "plug-and-play" player. There was no stage fright on the playoff stage, averaging 5.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in 11.8 minutes.

Boucher's journey is full of inspiration. On the 2017 draft night, he unfortunately lost the election and finally knocked on the NBA door with a two-way contract, and the starting point was the Golden State Warriors. Less well known is that he has a lot of connection with Celtics’ current defender Payton Pritchard – the two had played side by side for one season at the University of Oregon (2016-17). In college, Buchel showed his defensive dominance. He averaged 2.7 blocks per game for two seasons (2015-17), and won the Pac-12 league blocks for two consecutive years, and was selected into the league's best defensive team twice.
