Baylor Scheierman idolized legend who finished career with Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics revolved their offense around sharing the rock — it's what made them so special and led them to win it all this past June. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will have their "iso moments" when needed but Joe Mazzulla's scheme pounds the theme of passing the ball around.

Baylor Scheierman has made his debut in a non-college uniform and impressed many not only with his ability to shoot the basketball but also pass, too. This skill will be of tremendous value and can certainly help crack the rotation during the regular season.

He shared that Pistol Pete is who he admired the most.

“It kind of started when I was really young, watching Pistol Pete growing up, he was throwing all those flashy passes,” Scheierman told reporters, referring to Basketball Hall of Famer Pete Maravich (h/t Boston.com). “I tried to emulate that when I was super young. As I continued to grow and develop, it kind of just stayed a part of my game. Going in with whoever I’m playing with, I’m looking to get my teammates involved, get them open shots, and make them feel good.”

"I'm looking to get my teammates involved" is very, very unselfish. That sounds like a fit on the Celtics' roster. This mindset can drive Scheierman's career to higher than anyone could imagine, especially for someone who was not a one-and-done (the typical NBA Draft product).

Baylor Scheierman never gave up in his first Boston Celtics Summer League outing

The former Creighton Bluejay scored 13 points, picked up five rebounds and threw six assists. His scoring came off a slow start but that did not discourage him one bit — he's resilient.

Schiereman's reads were on point and showed real poise out on the court. He's on the older side of things so there's tons of maturity in his game. It's a plus on top of his skill set.
