Re-living Baylor Scheierman’s best moments from summer league

A look back at Baylor Scheierman’s best moments for the Boston Celtics during Las Vegas Summer League.

The Boston Celtics selected Baylor Scheierman with the 30th pick in the NBA draft. The five-year Creighton product enters the NBA with a diverse offensive skillset, specifically on the perimeter where he projects as a reliable floor spacer. Nevertheless, Scheierman is also adept at attacking off the dribble, creating for others and is a high-level rebounder.

Scheierman announced himself to Celtics fans during his five-game stint at Las Vegas Summer League, where he averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 36.2% from the field. Scheierman will likely compete for a spot in Joe Mazzulla’s primary rotation next season but must improve on the defensive end. 

Following the completion of Boston’s summer league participation, Tomasz Kordyleski posted a highlight reel of Scheierman’s summer league performances to his YouTube channel. Throughout the video, you can see the offensive upside he brings to the table, along with some of his stronger areas on the defensive end.

Which Celtics players stock has risen during summer league?

Which members of the Boston Celtics Summer League roster have seen their stock rise in recent weeks?

The Boston Celtics will play their final Summer League game on Sunday, July 21. They are 2-2 over their first four games. During the tournament in Las Vegas, Celtics fans got a closer look at recent draft additions Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson. Neemias Queta, JD Davison and Jordan Walsh also participated in the event.

However, not every member of Boston’s Summer League roster stepped up to the plate. Some players have struggled to make an impact despite being given significant opportunities to showcase their improvements. On the other hand, some members of the Summer League roster have staked their claim and could get a closer look from the coaching staff during training camp.

In a recent episode of the “Big 3 NBA Podcast,” host A. Sherrod Blakely discussed which members of Boston’s summer league roster have seen their stock rise over the last couple of weeks with guest Noa Dalzell of Celtics Blog.

They also cover which players have hurt their chances of potentially earning playing time.

Boston’s Baylor Scheierman gets middling grade for his Las Vegas Summer League play

His shooting and occasional mistakes were enough to take the Creighton alum down a peg.

Rookie Boston Celtics shooting guard Baylor Scheierman got himself a middling grade for his play in the NBA’s 2024 Las Vegas Summer League. His shooting and occasional mistakes were enough to take the Creighton alum down a peg, evidently, from the lofty expectations of some.

The analyst we are specifically thinking of here is Bleacher Report league analyst Andy Bailey, who was a little disappointed in what he saw from Scheierman in Sin City, given his high expectations for the former Big East wing. “It’s hard to praise a shooter when he’s simply not making shots,” writes the B/R analyst. “So, while Baylor Scheierman has played hard and typically appeared to know what he was doing, going 5-of-21 from 3 over his first three games is hard to ignore.”

“Still, shooting numbers from any random, three-game sample don’t predict future performance, and Scheierman went 3-of-6 from deep in a loss on Friday,” he adds.

“On a team as loaded as the … Celtics, if he wants a shot at some regular-season minutes, he’ll have to be ready to knock those looks down when presented,” suggests Bailey. “Scheierman hasn’t been the only notable first-year Celtic, though.”

“Anton Watson, taken with the 54th pick, is averaging double-figures and had 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks on Friday. With all the offense Boston already has, the defense-first Watson might have a different but potentially easier path to minutes in 2024-25.”

Scheierman’s final grade for summer league? A respectable ‘C-‘.

Who are some legitimate NBA comps for Boston’s Baylor Scheierman?

What are the NBA player comparisons for Boston Celtics rookie Baylor Scheierman?

Baylor Scheierman joined the Boston Celtics as the 30th pick in the NBA Draft. The five-year product out of Creighton has impressed throughout his four games at Las Vegas Summer League. His diverse offensive game, coupled with his potential upside on the defensive end, has led Celtics fans to believe Brad Stevens may have found the steal of the draft.

As is usually the case with young talents, the Celtics fan base is looking to find NBA comparisons for their latest draft addition, with Joe Ingles being the most logical one. Scheierman has previously stated that he modeled some of his game on the veteran sharpshooter.

During a recent episode of the “How ‘Bout Them Celtics” podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance discussed some potential comparisons for the rookie wing, along with answering a viewer’s question likening Scheierman to the legendary Larry Bird.

Which players have stood out at summer league?

Who have been the best players throughout Las Vegas Summer League?

The Boston Celtics wrapped up their summer league season on Sunday, July 21, with a 103-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Boston ended the tournament with a 2-3 record despite some strong showings from Anton Watson, Baylor Scheierman, Jaden Springer and Neemias Queta.

There were multiple standouts across summer league this season, with Reed Sheppard of the Houston Rockets arguably leading the way. With so much young talent on display throughout the tournament, it’s only fair to wonder where they all rank against each other, especially as you try to get a jump on a potential Rookie of the Year race ahead of the new season.

In a recent episode of the “How ‘Bout Them Celtics” podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance discuss the best performers throughout summer league. The hosts then place each player into tiers as they attempt to rank all of the main talents from the tournament.

What did we learn from the first night of Las Vegas Summer League?

The Las Vegas Summer League is officially underway, with the Boston Celtics set to play on Saturday, July 13.

The Las Vegas Summer League got underway on Friday (July 12). The Boston Celtics will play their first game of the tournament on Saturday (July 13), when they will face off against the Miami Heat. We will likely get our first look at Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson, who were drafted by the team with the 30th and 54th picks, respectively.

Boston has taken a strong roster to Vegas. As such, they will likely be one of the favorites to challenge for the Summer League championship. The Golden State Warriors are another strong roster that could be a potential Finals opponent.

During a recent episode of the “First To The Floor” podcast, the hosts discussed the lessons learned from the tournament’s opening night, including Bronny James’s Las Vegas debut. They also touched on their expectations for Boston’s opening game on Saturday.

Baylor Scheierman, Anton Watson coach local kids at Boston Celtics community event

They might have a future in the profession if this ‘NBA player’ thing doesn’t pan out.

As we just saw in the case of former Boston Celtics point guard alum Kemba Walker, it is not so unusual for players to make the leap to the other side of the clipboard to become a coach after their time on the court as a player is over. But it is far less common to see prospective NBA players pick up the vocation even before they set foot on a court as a player at that level.

But we saw exactly this go down at a recent Celtics community event that had Boston’s 2024 draft picks Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson coaching a cadre of kids in attendance — and doing it well!

The folks over at the CLNS Media “Celtics All Access on CLNS” YouTube channel captured it all for your viewing pleasure. Check it out in the clip embedded below.
