When the Celtics selected Baylor Scheierman with the final pick of the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft, many compared the Creighton product to Sam Hauser due to their 3-point shooting ability.
Celtics assistant general manager Austin Ainge has another comparison in mind though for Scheierman as he remarked about the first-round pick’s “crazy” stats as a high school quarterback.
“Some people have asked me about comps. He’s bigger and a little different, but Luke Kennard was also a high school quarterback and plays kind of similarly,” Ainge told NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg on the “Celtics Talk” podcast.
