Sam Hauser will most-likely never be compared to that other blond guy that played in Boston in the 80's, but he seems to be a legit marksman and NBA-level player. He leads the League in 3-point percentage among player averaging 3-or-more treys per game. Sam, "The Mauser" Hauser averages 3.2 three-point attempts per contest and makes 1.8 of them - for a 56.3 percentage.
The Celtics are outscoring opponents by - I am not making this up - 31.9 points per 100 possessions with Sam Hauser on the floor, per Cleaning the Glass.

Last night, in Boston's 109-106 win over the Grizzlies, Sam had a line of five points, 1 rebound, one assist and one steal. He placed second to Jayson Tatum in plus/minus with a +9. His defense? Well, it is already better than most thought it would be, and according to Marcus Smart, Sam is working on it - with a lot of help, and pressure, from his teammates.
"We're proud of Sam not just for his offense but for his defense as well"
