Celtics News: Boston Guard Already Demoted

Boston Celtics They look like one of the best teams in the NBA once again. Despite this, Boston still sends four players to G-League affiliate Maine Celtics.

The most notable name that made the transition to the G-League was rookie shooter Baylor Scheierman, who was selected by the Celtics with the 30th pick in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

Scheierman is averaging 1.3 points, 1.3 total rebounds and six minutes per game in three games so far this season. But Scheierman’s college stats show a lot of promise.

Scheierman had a long college basketball career that started at South Dakota State in 2019. Scheierman averaged six points, 4.7 total rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in 32 games his freshman year.

In his sophomore year, Scheierman doubled all statistics, averaging 15.4 points, 9.2 total rebounds, four assists and one steal per game in 23 games. He was named first team All-Summit League for his play.

Scheierman’s junior year was his breakout season as he averaged 16.2 points per game and led the conference in total rebounds per game (7.8) and assists per game (4.5). He was once again named first-team All-Summit League and Summit League Player of the Year.

In his first year at Creighton, Scheierman averaged 12.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game and helped the team reach the Elite Eight.

In his sophomore year at Creighton, Scheierman averaged a career-high 18.5 points per game, while also averaging nine rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He was named first-team All-Big East and earned third-team All-American honors. That season, Creighton made it to the Sweet Sixteen.

While this may seem like a demotion for the young player, it will actually be a great opportunity for Scheierman to grow. With Maine, Scheierman will be able to get more reps and become the player he was meant to be, especially for the Boston team. inflated with talent.

Scheierman will be joined by three two-way players: guard JD Davison, forward Drew Peterson and forward Anton Watson.

Davison joins the Celtics in 2022. He played an average of 4.7 minutes in the three games he played this season, averaging one point, 0.3 total rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.3 steals.

Peterson joins the Celtics in 2023. He played an average of three minutes in two games this season, averaging one block, 0.5 total rebounds and 0.5 steals.

Like Scheierman, Watson was selected in the 2024 NBA Draft. He was selected with the 54th pick in the second round. He hasn’t played yet this season, but he was one of Gonzaga’s key players. In his senior season in college, he averaged 14.5 points, 7.1 total rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
