LAS VEGAS — UV rays are no joke in Vegas. But as the entire NBA prepares for Summer League, it’s not the heat that’s turning Boston Celtics rookie Baylor Scheierman away from Sin City.
“Not a big fan of Vegas overall, regardless of the heat or not,” Scheierman said after practice on Friday. “Not really my speed.”
As cards fly and the Sphere dominates the skyline, hoopers litter the streets, ready to prove themselves to coaches, scouts, and front office executives alike. For two weeks, Vegas is the basketball capital of the world.
So, while the hustle and bustle of the strip may not be for Scheierman, his focus is on the hardwood.
