If you’re a Boston Celtics fan clamoring for your first look at Gordon Hayward in green, a video game will have to do.
NBA 2K18 recently released a screen shot of the new Celtics swingman in his brand-new C’s uniform to promote the upcoming season’s game.
And since it’s early August and there’s not a whole lot else going on, here’s what virtual Hayward looks like in a virtual Celtics jersey.

Looks an awful lot like if you took virtual Hayward from the Jazz and put him in a Celtics uniform, but we digress.
That 88 rating ain’t so bad, though. For a little perspective, the player with the highest ratings of all the ratings released so far is Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant, who checked in at 96.
