Social Media Reacts

Here’s what people were saying about the signing:
@CelticsDale: “That’s a fun name to add to the training camp roster. Could be a good add to Maine if that’s how this shakes out. Really awesome shooter, both C&S and off movement, but struggles at times with consistency. Tough player who dominated the mid major level before jumping to B1G.”
Bobby Manning: “Another player joins the Celtics’ summer mix.”
Adam Finkelstein: “Got to watch Tucker DeVries work out in the pre-draft process and he looked healthier than he’d been in years. One of the most natural shooters you’ll find.”
