Baylor Scheierman’s homage to Rajon Rondo: While the outcome of the game had essentially been decided, the late fourth quarter of Wednesday’s Celtics-Suns matchup included a notable moment. It was indicative of the growing confidence of Boston rookie forward Baylor Scheierman.
Scheierman, 24, was the Celtics‘ first-round pick in 2024. He has started to find his footing at the NBA level in the last month, and showcased some skill in a sequence that probably looked familiar to longtime Celtics fans.
After faking a shot, Scheierman drove toward the hoop before dusting off a classic move: He faked a behind-the-back pass before running past the defender.
