Mazzulla Lauds Baylor Scheierman as Emerging Celtic "Connector"

The second-year wing keeps minutes despite Jayson Tatum’s return.

Overview

  • Scheierman posted 16 points and 10 rebounds in Boston’s 109-98 win at Cleveland on March 8, his fourth double-double in a 14-game span.
  • Joe Mazzulla praised Scheierman’s competitiveness and role execution, calling him a connector who prioritizes competing over starting.
  • Scheierman has appeared in 59 games this season with 16 starts, and his minutes have held even with Tatum back, including 21 vs. Dallas and 25 vs. Cleveland.
  • He has continued to play through a recent thumb fracture and is shooting 38.9% from three while averaging 4.8 points in 16.5 minutes.
  • After Shaquille O’Neal said on-air he didn’t know who Scheierman was, the guard brushed it off with a laugh and said he trusts his play to speak for itself.
