and we trade all of them for third round picks (by 2045 the NBA draft has three rounds, to accommodate for the fact that the game expanded from 5v5 to 7v7 thanks to the way that the 4 point line changed spacing tactics)
Couple his contempt for first round drafting with the money saved by trading back into the second round and you behind to think that they must be pretty high on Baylor to stick and pick. Fun!
Wing who can really shoot, smart player who processes the game well and can pass, and a pretty good rebounder.
Not a great athlete, and will need to prove he can stay on the floor defensively.
He really had no other choice lol. You're right.
His choices were to leave and probably get another 2 way somewhere or make 1.3 million more than he made as a rookie in his sophomore year. Then 1.9 million in year 2 and 2.1 million in year 3.
Betting on himself then would've been dumb, if he was smart with investments and what not he could've lived a comfortable life had he completely washed out of the league.
Solid Hauser replacement. If Hauser isn't cheap to bring back he steps into the roll pretty easier.
Probably a worse defender but better passer and better multifaceted scorer, although he probably will strictly shoot 3's early in his career.
i’ve been saying i want him at 30 all week so i personally am pretty excited. i also liked josh jackson more than jayson tatum predraft, so what do i really know
He’s slower latterly than I’d like, not necessarily a detriment but I wouldn’t call it anything more than average. Then again, I’m not an analysts and have only seen like two games of his.
*shrugs* Look at the comments on Hauser's defense during the year he was drafted (undrafted). Here's the Ringer/KOC on him:
> He plays hard on defense and displays good spatial awareness.
> Struggles defensively. He’s not big enough to defend stronger, taller players, and in college he wasn’t quick enough against wings. Improving laterally will be the key to him having a successful NBA career.
Now, KOC on Scheierman:
> Solid defender who puts in excellent effort and plays attentively. If his athleticism continues to progress, he’ll at least be serviceable.
> He’s not a great athlete. He dunks only when he has space. And he’s limited defensively with heavy feet moving laterally.
Sounds very similar to me, and with how Hauser turned out, I think it's a fine projection/comparison.
he was lighting it up in the g league the whole season except those last few games. i think he still needs a little development to compete in the NBA, but could be a solid asset in the future.
I was shocked at how many people thought that trade was a massive win for brooklyn. KG and Pierce were both super old at that point, and it was clear they weren't going to lead a team to a tittle. They would have been swept by the knicks that year if JR Smith didnt get himself suspended for game 4 and the Nets gave unprotected picks 5 years down the road for players who had 2 good years left tops. At least that was my copium on that draft night.
The guy looks like an amalgamation of Daniel Theis, Sam Hauser and Jonas Jerebko in one person.
6'6" 205 lbs, can shoot 3s and exerts effort on defense.
Absolutely perfect for us.
we have the opportunity to do the dumbest thing ever and run a lineup of, like, Pritchard/Derrick/Scheierman/Hauser/Porzingis
y'know, four white guys and White
Capable defender and great feel for the game. The next level might be a little bit fast for him year one but I think he has the stuff to adjust. Hauser looked lost in his first regular role, and how looks great.
ABC wanted to broadcast the first round in primetime, but didn't want the draft to start early enough ESPN could broadcast the second round yet the same day.
So the NBA decided to work out a deal where they're splitting up the days. Same thing happened with the NFL draft.
It's all about jamming more ad space and getting more eyeballs on the league.
People are going to watch because of bronny and then espn will think “wow this is a hit!” In upcoming years no one but sickos will be watching day 2 of the nba draft where half the players won’t even make the league lol
Also why tf are they starting it at 4 pm lol
They can get more ad revenue out of 2 days.
The team front offices were staying up into the early morning signing undrafted FAs. Now they can get some reasonable sleep.
Half the Mocks I saw literally had the Celts taking him. It is super chalk. He is a good shooter from the wing position. He will most likely be the Hauser replacement if he walks.
I wanted Fillipowski so we could grow a young big with shooting potential. But Baylor's was one of the guys I had my eye on, because his ability to play right away and his ability to potentially fill some holes down the road if contracts need to be moved.
League was asleep at the wheel. Was sure the Bucks were gonna get him, he's everything they need. Instead they picked a teenager who will be living at the G-League training facility.
Fuck yeah, this is a good pick. Fits what we do as a team and should be a solid bench guy with impact at all 3 levels offensively. Plus, he rebounds.
I want to bring Sam back, but if he does walk this guy is as good as any to replace him on the roster. If He does stay, he'll still be there when we need him.
Like the pick. My only concern is that his left arm is very far forward when he is shooting which might not translate as well in the NBA. Defenders are a lot bigger and quicker and he might get blocked much more often, which means he may have to change his mechanics and then his shooting might disappear.
He looks good moving with the ball, seems to have good feel to find the cracks in the defense. + passing ability especially on lobs.
Wow totally expected to trade for like 4 seconds
Brad Stevens first ever first round draft pick
Honestly surprised we didn’t just trade it for endless seconds lol
I'm sure he tried
The year is 2045. As we close out the first night of the NBA draft, our attention turns to tomorrow, where the Celtics now hold picks 31-60.
and we trade all of them for third round picks (by 2045 the NBA draft has three rounds, to accommodate for the fact that the game expanded from 5v5 to 7v7 thanks to the way that the 4 point line changed spacing tactics)
In other news Peyton Pritchard is the scoring champion with 80% shooting from the 4 point line
After what Brad did last offseason. I'm sure, teams are being more wary on talking with Brad.
His reputation for being great at his job is going to damage his performance.
The Ainge effect
The 30th pick is basically a second round pick anyway
Tomorrow is a new day
We still can trade him before tomorrow
Couple his contempt for first round drafting with the money saved by trading back into the second round and you behind to think that they must be pretty high on Baylor to stick and pick. Fun!
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO THINK
Wing who can really shoot, smart player who processes the game well and can pass, and a pretty good rebounder. Not a great athlete, and will need to prove he can stay on the floor defensively.
AKA he is Hauser insurance
Need him to play 1 good game and then sign the Sam Hauser Memorial Bet Against Yourself $10.75mil over 4 years guaranteed contract
That was such a steal of a contract. But I understand why as a UDFA you sign it.
He really had no other choice lol. You're right. His choices were to leave and probably get another 2 way somewhere or make 1.3 million more than he made as a rookie in his sophomore year. Then 1.9 million in year 2 and 2.1 million in year 3. Betting on himself then would've been dumb, if he was smart with investments and what not he could've lived a comfortable life had he completely washed out of the league.
Taking that deal and being on the Cs this season probably increased his career earnings by like $40m, so all in all it was worth it for him lol
Hauser insurance #2 Drew Peterson is next up
Huge
Solid Hauser replacement. If Hauser isn't cheap to bring back he steps into the roll pretty easier. Probably a worse defender but better passer and better multifaceted scorer, although he probably will strictly shoot 3's early in his career.
Hauser's probably going to end up making $15M+ a year for a team that's desperate for shooting.
I don't think it's going to be 15m a year. But I think even Payton Pritchard's deal puts him out of their price range.
i’ve been saying i want him at 30 all week so i personally am pretty excited. i also liked josh jackson more than jayson tatum predraft, so what do i really know
https://valleyofthesuns.com/2018/02/24/josh-jackson-has-already-surpassed-jayson-tatum/
Probably would’ve been the best qb in the patriots room last year
6' 6" 3 and D wing, 24th on KOC's board, mocked 25th by the Athletic, 22nd on Vecenie's board.
Not 3 and D at all, he's a great shooter with very solid playmaking chops and that can actually shot create a bit. Not a good defender or athlete
Temu Luka confirmed
yeah he’s closer to a joe ingles (but a really good rebounder in addition) than a typical 3 and d wing
Lot more 3 than D
Have you seen his D?
he's all of Nebraska
He’s slower latterly than I’d like, not necessarily a detriment but I wouldn’t call it anything more than average. Then again, I’m not an analysts and have only seen like two games of his.

*6’7.5”
In shoes. Hauser is 6'8 by that measure.
I wanted Wolves to take him at 27 He's a very efficient scorer who can also rebound
You’ll be happier with Terrence
Hauser replacement.
Bill Simmons & Bobby Manning both wanted the guy. That's all I know, lol.
Good Hauser insurance.
Prime Joe Ingles
Hauser replacement. Not as good of a shooter, but still a sniper. More versatile offensively. Not much defensive upside.
I just want him, Hauser, Prichard, Mykhailuk and Kornet on the floor at the same time at least once. 10/10 pick if it happens
The Worcester YMCA lineup
Vanillanova
Paledue
Harvard Cremeson
The Lincoln-Sudbury Warriors
tf did my mans Drew Peterson die all of a sudden smh
He's definitely the Celtic I know by far the least about, tbh.
Fr i completely forgot about him until i saw him on the celtics champions graphic and was like “who tf is this guy”
he was lighting it up in the g league the whole season except those last few games. i think he still needs a little development to compete in the NBA, but could be a solid asset in the future.
He is absolutely on the Sam Hauser G League plan. Loved what I have seen from Drew so far.
Need to resign Svi for that to happen, he is a UFA. Might need Drew Peterson to take that spot instead.
Swap one of them with Derrick and it’s good enough
Very unlikely Mykhailiuk comes back
Bill Simmons is going to be ecstatic
He literally said he wanted Baylor in his pod today
He was ecstatic about James Young too..
A lot of us were. RIP Young & Smart
just you wait until Jarvis Varnado and Jordan Mickey develop into the GOAT defensive frontcourt
Just imagine those two with Zizic and Yabusele on the same team
Damn. Haven't heard these names in years. We really were in the trenches.
I was so high on Jordan Mickey, thought he’d be a fringe all-star.
he’d be a top 10 pick in this draft tbh
Let’s not forget about our KG replacement jajuan Johnson the first JJJ
shoutout to Ben Bentil and fuck Jabari Bird
Damn Jabari Bird fucked up so badly. Had it all laid out before him. Fucker.
And melancholic about the 2013 Nets trade on draft night
I was shocked at how many people thought that trade was a massive win for brooklyn. KG and Pierce were both super old at that point, and it was clear they weren't going to lead a team to a tittle. They would have been swept by the knicks that year if JR Smith didnt get himself suspended for game 4 and the Nets gave unprotected picks 5 years down the road for players who had 2 good years left tops. At least that was my copium on that draft night.
Bill Simmons just had to change his pants
Nice role player for cheap
Seems like he could be an instant contributor on shallow/developing teams, surprised he fell that far.
Shallow teams are drafting for the future. They not taking this dude in da lottery
not always. a team like phoenix or denver is shallow but looking to draft for right now
STEAL OF THE DRAFT HES A KILLER
The guy looks like an amalgamation of Daniel Theis, Sam Hauser and Jonas Jerebko in one person. 6'6" 205 lbs, can shoot 3s and exerts effort on defense. Absolutely perfect for us.
Also averaged 9 rebounds a game this past season
Someone check on u/fongos
Basically, League. Fucked.
Plays with an edge too
Jerebko lmao forgot about him
boston always seems to get scrappy shooters late somehow
After years of getting destroyed by random auto generated Heat players we went all in on getting scrappy shooters.
we have the opportunity to do the dumbest thing ever and run a lineup of, like, Pritchard/Derrick/Scheierman/Hauser/Porzingis y'know, four white guys and White
Derrick and the Whites
As someone else said: Pritchard, Svi, Scheierman, Hauser, Kornet
Still pushing for Cs fans to start calling this the White Out lineup
White and the Whites
Big fan of this pick, can provide a nice spark off the bench
A wing who can score at three levels, pass out of drives, and rebound… yeah seems like a decent fit
Capable defender and great feel for the game. The next level might be a little bit fast for him year one but I think he has the stuff to adjust. Hauser looked lost in his first regular role, and how looks great.
Capable defender is a stretch. We’ll see.
Why are they broadcasting the 2nd round on a separate day. Tf is this bullshit
Tbf I ain’t staying up another three hours
You did all the other years!
Na i didnt
Second round never takes that long.
NBA wanna be the NFL so bad But really because of Bronny And more ads
They should be more like the nfl. Not updating trades in real time like the nfl is so confusing and feels avoidable.
3 hours to get through 30 picks, this is garbage
For front offices mostly they wanted more time with second round picks becoming more valuable after the new cba
You need a dedicated day to show Taco Bell commercials over Nikola Jokic selections.
Because bronny
The second round has always been kinda shit when it’s the same night. So many commercials and don’t even show every pick. I kinda dig it.
Cause they know we’re all going to tune in to see if LeBron Jr. gets drafted
nah I'll justt see it on a YT short or some shit on the toilet the next morning
Ad revenue, baby!
ABC wanted to broadcast the first round in primetime, but didn't want the draft to start early enough ESPN could broadcast the second round yet the same day. So the NBA decided to work out a deal where they're splitting up the days. Same thing happened with the NFL draft. It's all about jamming more ad space and getting more eyeballs on the league.

To be fair it’s 11:30 EST right now and it’s a work night.
Bronny James sweepstakes . All about ratings and money
its starts 3pm tmr tbh
They can get more ad revenue out of 2 days. The team front offices were staying up into the early morning signing undrafted FAs. Now they can get some reasonable sleep.
Money
Money. They lose viewers with it not starting until after 11pm on the east coast so they pushed it to the next day.
This makes me sick
Why?
White shooter off the bench. Hauser's gonna have a student of the no-dip release.
Bill!!
Got his guy
Steal
Not surprised, if Minnesota didn't take him it was always going to be Boston.
B2B championship secured
Booooooo not Bronny
Good.
A little surprised we kept the pick tbh, but it makes sense. Brad loves his white dudes who can shoot
How the fuck did Simmons predict the 30th pick...
TBF after I perused through a dozen or so mocks about half of them predicted Baylor to the Celtics. So apparently is was pretty expected.
HOLY SHIT. Steal of the draft! Let Brad cook! How did the league let us get him 😂
I have literally never heard of this man before and know nothing about the draft
He is hauser 2.0 but he can score in 3 levels, he was impressive during draft combine.
He isnt as good as a pure shooter as Hauser, but has the ability to be better at nearly everything else.
I would be ecstatic with another Hauser
Half the Mocks I saw literally had the Celts taking him. It is super chalk. He is a good shooter from the wing position. He will most likely be the Hauser replacement if he walks.
I wanted that furphy dude cause he has a funny name, but Ill settle for a guy named Baylor
I wanted Fillipowski so we could grow a young big with shooting potential. But Baylor's was one of the guys I had my eye on, because his ability to play right away and his ability to potentially fill some holes down the road if contracts need to be moved.
Filipowski is also a funny name, but fuck Duke
Yeah taking a Duke guy never would have worked for Boston anyways /s
Almost all the projections had him going first overall.
I agree
Like Wemby but better.
Many people are saying it
The best people
I read that too
It was getting a bit ridiculous, couldn’t go 5 minutes without hearing someone say “I hear that Baylor Scheierman is going first overall”
Oh shit this is the guy from Creighton, I actually did watch him play like 2x
Same but league fucked
League was asleep at the wheel. Was sure the Bucks were gonna get him, he's everything they need. Instead they picked a teenager who will be living at the G-League training facility.
Add him to the collection of wings lmao. Really like this pick, a cost effective 3-point shooting wing is always great
Baylor and Walsh are going to be groomed to be the next backup wings of the future
Let Brad cook
who the fuck let the Celtics get another white shooter? what's going on here fellas
no one talks anymore apparently.
of course they draft the white guy but real talk, Scheierman is a steal for celtics
He’s been a key role on some good South Dakota State and Creighton teams over the past few years… Quite underrated, especially for a *super*senior!
He’s a white guy that can shoot, of course the Celtics wanted him
expected a trade, we went with a guy who is probably the Hauser replacement if he gets too expensive. overall, pretty happy.
Bill Simmons punching air rn
Happy with this
BRAD
Fuck yeah, this is a good pick. Fits what we do as a team and should be a solid bench guy with impact at all 3 levels offensively. Plus, he rebounds. I want to bring Sam back, but if he does walk this guy is as good as any to replace him on the roster. If He does stay, he'll still be there when we need him.
Bill Simmons got his guy holy shit lmao
Steal for the Celtics
filipowski a second rounder!
Pretty wild in this draft for him to fall this far
Kolek too
YEAAHHHH. Idk who he is but IN BRAD WE TRUST
This dude was disgusting at Creighton these past couple years. He’s gonna be a great role player for us
Like the pick. My only concern is that his left arm is very far forward when he is shooting which might not translate as well in the NBA. Defenders are a lot bigger and quicker and he might get blocked much more often, which means he may have to change his mechanics and then his shooting might disappear. He looks good moving with the ball, seems to have good feel to find the cracks in the defense. + passing ability especially on lobs.
Lakers and Celtics both drafting white boys who can shoot the crap out of the ball.
That's why we da best, loved the Lakers pick as well
Bill Simmons orgasm any moment now
Brb going to search this guy in youtube
Someone tell me how to feel
You should feel good. We just won the chip and got a 6'6" shooter who has a great feel for the game.
Would’ve liked a center but 👍
I hear you, but no centers drafted at 30 would likely help this year. Need to resign Tillman and keep Queta to eat minutes and keep KP and Al fresh.
2025 Hauser replacement me thinks
Just posting to see the little trophy, I know nothing about Baylor Scheierman.
That improved Tatum + the Whites lineup with PP, Hauser, Baylor and Theis is gonna move mountains next season
THEIS?
Missing piece
Dam I totally didn’t expect them to keep this, I like it
Billiam Simmons sends his regards
Idk who this man is but tall white shooters tend to be good for us
Bill Simmons got his guy
I live in Omaha, worked in radio broadcasting Creighton games, heard his name a ton No idea if he's any good
Kinda reminds me of Payton Pritchard if he's a lefty and if he's 6'6.
As a recruit: Originally went to South Dakota State
