LIFE

Roots & the rise

A sweet-shooting wing from Nebraska — a rising rotation piece for the Celtics.

Baylor Arthur Scheierman was born in Hastings, Nebraska, a multi-sport athlete at Aurora High, and starred at South Dakota State — winning Summit League Player of the Year — before transferring to Creighton, where he made First-team All-Big East and reached the 2024 Sweet Sixteen. Boston drafted him 30th overall in 2024.

After a limited rookie year split with the G League's Maine Celtics, he grew into a rotation shooting wing in 2025-26, appearing in 77 games and scoring a career-high 30 against Orlando. His calling card is perimeter shooting and size on the wing.

BEYOND THE GAME

Beyond the game

Scheierman comes from a close Nebraska family — three sisters and a brother, with a father, Scott, who played college basketball at Hastings College — and is a nondenominational Christian. His path from a small Nebraska town through the Summit League to Creighton and the first round is a testament to steady development and elite shooting.

On the court his identity is spacing and size: a 6-foot-6 wing who can shoot off the catch and off movement, the kind of developmental 3-and-D piece a contender stashes and grows into a rotation role.

ANALYSIS

What the numbers say

Shooting and size on the wing

Scheierman's value is a projectable 3-and-D profile — a 6-foot-6 wing who shoots nearly 40% from three and can defend his position. In an expanded 2025-26 role he showed he belongs in a rotation, and on a reshaping Boston team his cheap, developing two-way wing play is a useful piece around the stars.
