C’s select wing Baylor Scheierman in Round 1 of NBA Draft originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
For the first time since taking over as Boston Celtics president of basketball operations in 2021, Brad Stevens made a first-round selection in the NBA Draft.
With the 30th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Celtics selected 6-foot-7 wing Baylor Scheierman out of Creighton.
Scheierman averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game for the Bluejays last season. The 23-year-old shot 44.8 percent from the floor, including a solid 38.1 percent from 3-point range. His shooting prowess makes him an intriguing addition to Boston’s bench.
Celtics draft pick Baylor Scheierman is the only player in Division I men’s history with at least 2,000 points (2,233), 1,000 rebounds (1,256), 500 assists (580), and 300 three-pointers (356). pic.twitter.com/eGpWhAQ1Fw
