Baylor Scheierman Rumors
Bobby Manning: Brad Stevens: "(Baylor Scheierman) played really well at the end of the regular season. The biggest challenge now is ... don't try to do too much. Don't try to be somebody that you're not."
A few days after Baylor Scheierman was drafted, he met Jayson Tatum at the Auerbach Center. “The first day I stepped foot into the practice facility, he was there signing his new contract,” Scheierman told CelticsBlog earlier this month. “And just from the jump, he was always there for me to talk to.” Scheierman, selected with the No. 30 pick in the NBA Draft, signed his rookie contract the same day Tatum signed his supermax extension.
And, from the jump, his superstar teammate served as an approachable source of information and guidance. “I asked him about Summer League and what to expect, and he shared everything and gave me some advice on how I should go about it and whatnot,” Scheierman said of Tatum. “And it’s just how he’s been the whole year.”
In March, Scheierman averaged 6.3 points on 48.8% shooting, including a scorching 47.4% from three. He credited Tatum for continuing to encourage him during that run. “The last stretch of the season, when I was getting a lot of minutes, he was just continually in my ear telling me to be confident, continue to be aggressive, and shoot the ball when I’m open,” Scheierman said. “That’s just the type of teammate he is — the type of guy he is — just instilling confidence in everybody that’s on the court and on the bench.”

John Karalis: The Celtics have recalled Baylor Scheierman. He was already in Orlando playing in the G League showcase. Sam Hauser was listed as questionable heading into tonight, so he might be shooting insurance if Hauser can't go.
