Baylor Scheierman’s defensive versatility is expected to be a key asset for the Boston Celtics during their postseason run.
Scheierman’s Defensive Assignments
If higher seeds win out in the play-in game and beyond, Scheierman could be tasked with defending several All-Stars. This season, he has spent significant time matched up against players such as Tyrese Maxey and Cade Cunningham, with Jalen Brunson also featuring. Scheierman has made these players work for their points.
Scheierman’s Defensive Impact
Scheierman contested 20 shots per 100 possessions during his floor time this season.
Regular Season Performance
Scheierman’s scoring outburst in the regular-season finale against Orlando was entertaining. Knocking down open looks will be important in the postseason.
The Boston Celtics had a 56-win season.
