The Celtics are counting on Baylor Scheierman to take a bigger bite of the rotation next season. He flashed playmaking and scoring versatility late in 2024-25, but his Las Vegas Summer League shooting dipped, nudging the team to expect a developmental leap. In Boston’s retooling, Scheierman could be the spark plug off the bench—a multi-position creator who provides rebounding, defense, and a credible three-level scoring threat. If he can show growth with more minutes, his role becomes a key dial-b turn for the lineup.

On the How 'Bout Them Celtics? and Taylor Talks Celtics podcasts, the message is consistent: Scheierman’s development is pivotal. The Celtics will lean on him to stabilize offense in multiple lineups, especially when pace and spacing demand improvisation. If the jumper stays stubborn, Boston may pivot during the season or at the February 2026 trade window, testing other options while Scheierman proves his mettle in real NBA minutes.
