"Boston drafted Scheierman with the 30th overall pick in 2024 out of Creighton, where he averaged 18.5 points per game as a senior on his way to being named a third-team All-American. But Scheierman has only played a small role for the Celtics so far, averaging 8.5 minutes per game and scoring just three points this season. However, he has shown potential for how he can impact this team for the better with his passing and hustle in Summer League."
"Coming out of college, Scheierman was seen as a forward who could stretch the floor and knock down threes. While in school, he had a streak of hitting a 3-pointer in 48 straight games. This shooting ability hasn't exactly translated to the NBA, but the Celtics and Brad Stevens still like his vision and playmaking ability, as he served as a solid role player last season."
The Celtics exercised Scheierman's third-year $2.74 million team option for the 2026–27 season, securing the 6-foot-6 Creighton forward through at least that year. Scheierman was the 30th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after averaging 18.5 points per game as a senior and earning third-team All-American honors. His NBA role has been limited, with averages near 8.5 minutes and three points per game, but Summer League play highlighted his passing, hustle, and potential. Scheierman was known in college as a floor-stretching shooter with a 48-game 3-point streak. The Celtics value his vision and playmaking as a role player moving forward.
