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.
