The Boston Celtics are your 2024 NBA Champions and have arguably one of the most well rounded starting five in NBA history.
As they look to repeat they added more depth to their bench as they had a first round and second round draft pick this year.
Let’s dive into each selection they made and the summary of their draft.
With the final pick in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft, the Celtics selected the fifth-year senior out of Creighton, Baylor Scheierman.
The 6-foot-7 wing had an excellent college career as he started out at a mid-major school then proved that he was a high-caliber player before ended up transferring to Creighton for his final years in college.
Scheierman is one of the top pure shooters in the entire draft as he has limitless range, good shot mechanics and amazing touch.
He spaces the floor so well and opens up the floor for the rest of his teammates.
Outside of being an elite sharpshooter he has a very good feel for the game and is a solid secondary playmaker.
Scheierman can make plays happen out of ball screens and does a good job of finding open teammates.
The skilled wing is also very crafty which makes up for his subpar athleticism.
He’s an NBA-ready player who has a chance to contribute within the next three years for a team that’s heading into next season as the championship favorites.
