PORTLAND, MAINE — To say that Baylor Scheierman has capitalized on the opportunity to begin his professional basketball career with the Maine Celtics would be a massive understatement.
Through four G League games, the 6’6 forward is averaging 23 points on 51.6% shooting, hitting 46.5% of his three-point attempts, and grabbing 9 rebounds per game.
And, above all, Scheierman is having a blast.
“It’s all just about enjoying it,” he said. “I don’t look at it as a demotion. It’s not a demotion. It’s an opportunity to play, and get live reps, and get better at your game so that when your number is called in Boston, you’re ready to go.
