Boston Celtics draftee Gabe Pruitt was given his first start in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas yesterday, and turned in his best performance to date in a Celtics victory: 14 points, 3 assists and 3 steals. The Boston Herald reports that “Pruitt is looking increasingly comfortable” at the point guard position, but the second-round pick knows there is still a lot of adjusting to do:

“It’s a real up-tempo game. You’ve got to be quick. I’m still learning, but it is a big difference. You don’t get too many chances, and I wanted to set a good example.”

After four games played in the summer league, Pruitt is averaging 6.2 points in 20.2 minutes.
