Baylor Scheierman displayed a bit of his highly touted shooting ability in the Celtics’ Summer League opener on Saturday, but it was his playmaking that seemed to impress the most.

While the Celtics rookie wing put up 13 points in their 119-114 loss to the Heat on Saturday, he dished out six assists and only had a turnover. Most of his assists were finding open players along the perimeter or cutting the rim, but he had a pair of standout passes.

First, Scheierman perfectly placed a ball for fellow rookie Anton Watson in transition, allowing the forward to get a layup on a fastbreak in the third quarter.
