Chauncey Wiggins, a 21-year-old forward who stands at six-foot-ten, has signed a training-camp deal with Boston and will suit up for the Celtics in the Las Vegas Summer League. The former Florida State player went undrafted after his lone season with the Seminoles, joining a group of young prospects the organization is evaluating ahead of the upcoming NBA season.
Wiggins demonstrated a solid shooting touch while at Florida State, posting a field-goal percentage just under fifty percent and an impressive free-throw mark in the mid-eighty range. From beyond the arc he attempted just under six shots per game and converted at a rate that placed him among the better long-range shooters for a player of his size at the Division I level. Those numbers suggest he can stretch defenses and provide spacing that is valuable in modern NBA schemes.
At six-foot-ten, Wiggins functions as a stretch-four who can pull traditional big men away from the paint. While his defensive instincts are still developing, his low turnover rate and awareness of positioning allow him to make smart decisions with the ball. The combination of shooting ability and disciplined play gives him a pathway to earn minutes in a system that prioritizes ball movement and spacing.
He joins a Summer League roster that also features Boston's recent draft selections Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell. Additional newcomers such as Tucker DeVries, Kyle Mangas, Milos Uzan and Max Shulga will be competing for minutes, creating a competitive environment where each player must carve out a distinct role during the two-week tournament.
The Vegas stint will be Wiggins' first exposure to NBA-level competition. A strong showing could translate into a two-way contract, which would allow him a limited number of NBA service days and regular practice with the main roster. Alternatively, the Celtics may assign him to their G-League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, or release him before the early-October roster deadline. Boston’s recent history of signing undrafted players to camp deals underscores the organization’s willingness to develop high-upside prospects, and Wiggins adds a perimeter-oriented big to their depth pool.
