The Boston Celtics are experiencing a significant shift in their roster as they kick off the 2025 offseason. With the departure of veteran starters Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, alongside the loss of backup big man Luke Kornet to the San Antonio Spurs, there's a wealth of opportunity emerging for the bench players. Most notably, Baylor Scheierman, the backup shooting guard, is poised for a breakout season, especially with the absence of star forward Jayson Tatum likely for the entire upcoming season.

Cedric Maxwell, a former Celtics player turned broadcaster, has expressed high hopes for Scheierman’s potential this season. On his recent podcast, Maxwell discussed the need for the Celtics to enhance their scoring capabilities and suggested that Scheierman’s increased role could be pivotal. The Celtics will be counting on their younger talent to step up, and Scheierman's performance will be crucial as the team navigates through this transitional period.
