Fans of the Boston Celtics ought to be thankful they aren’t facing reserve forward Sam Hauser in their first round series with the Miami Heat instead of deploying the lethal long-distance sharpshooter against the Heat.
The University of Virginia alum nearly signed with Miami after going unselected in the 2021 NBA draft, but a timely phone call from team president Brad Stevens stole Slam Hauser away from the Heat. He has since signed one of the best deals in the league for what he brings to the table, and may price himself out of Boston’s spending range in free agency after next season.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, took a closer look at how the Celtics signed Hauser away from Miami ahead of Boston’s Game 1 win. Check it out below!
