Rookie Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser might have gone unselected in the 2021 NBA draft, but the Celtics saw the sharpshooter within him and signed the University of Virginia product to a two way deal to get the Green Bay, Wisconsin native into their system and get him some burn with the Maine Celtics, their Portland-based G League affiliate.
Hauser put in the work, and when it was clear his offensive game would translate to the NBA, Boston inked him to a regular deal soon after. Now, after showing some real growth as a player, Boston inked him to a new three-year deal this offseason and believes that Hauser can earn some floor time on the wing this coming season.
If you are not too familiar with the sparsely-played forward’s game, or just want to gloat on how the Celtics managed to find a 42% 3-point shot with size, check out the clip embedded below, courtesy of YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.
