Celtics fans might remember Carsen Edwards, whose 3-point shooting looked like it might demand minutes in the regular season in 2013. Millennial Celtics fans might remember being swept up by Kelly Olynyk Fever when he took the Orlando Summer League by storm as a rookie in 2012.

Getting overexcited by prospects is a tradition, so consider this our contribution to this year’s frenzy: In his debut as a Celtic, Baylor Scheierman looked like an NBA player.
