The Boston Celtics selected Baylor Scheierman from Creighton University with their first round pick at the 2024 NBA Finals. Boston owned the No. 30 selection after winning 64 games in the regular season.
At 6-foot-6, Scheierman played five seasons at the college level after beginning his NCAA career at South Dakota State University. He spent two seasons at Creighton, leading the Bluejays to the Elite Eight in 2022-2023. The following season he earned Third-team All-American honors. Scheierman combines size and touch, and is particularly good rebounding the ball. He can shoot the ball, too. If the 23-year-old he can provide value on defense, Scheierman could end up cracking Boston’s rotation sooner rather than later.
This is the first year where the second round of the draft will be held across two nights. At the time of this writing, Boston owns the No. 54 pick for round two of the 2024 NBA draft.
