Who is Reggie Kissoonlal, the newest Maine Celtics player sent to the G League affiliate of the Boston Celtics? A 6-foot-11, 26-year-old forward and center who made the leap to the frontcourt playing for Danish club Randers Cimbria after playing as a guard at Northwestern State at the NCAA level, Kissoonlal is “an interesting G League flyer” according to The Athletic draft expert Sam Vecenie.
“One of best players in Denmark last year” per Vecenie, the Jacksonville native put up 20 points, 8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, a steal, and 2.8 blocks per game in 2021-22 while more than lapping the next-closest block rate in that league at the same time as he was a top-five scorer and rebounder in the Danish Basketligaen.
Noting that the unclear competition level of the league should be considered, Vecenie notes the Northwestern State alum has a smooth 3-pointer, is comfortable with the ball in his hands, and an abundance of tools to work with.
“No idea if he ends up being good enough at processing the game, ” admits Vecenie, but the Athletic analyst thinks it a good G League signing for Boston nonetheless, and we agree.
