The Boston Celtics used their 30th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to select Baylor Scheierman, a standout shooter from Creighton. Scheierman, who averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in his final college season, is known for his competitive spirit and versatility. Despite being older than many rookies and having a deep roster to compete with, his shooting, rebounding, and playmaking skills make him a valuable asset for the Celtics. With Kristaps Porzingis potentially sidelined until Christmas, Scheierman may have opportunities to contribute early. The Celtics' decision to draft him reflects their strategy to add a mature, NBA-ready player who can provide instant bench scoring. Scheierman celebrated his selection surrounded by friends and family, marking a significant moment in his basketball journey.
