It is no surprise that the Boston Celtics have exercised their club option on Baylor Sheierman's contract. He will be kept on the roster for next season for a mere $2.7 million.
Scheierman is currently the 12th man in minutes for Boston this season, averaging only 8.5 minutes per game. He is a known shooter, but even his per-36-minutes stats only show 3.2 points per contest. The same enlarged stats do show a penchant for board work at 12.7 rebounds per 36 minutes.
But Baylor's 4th season with the Celtics presents a different picture. Brad Stevens also holds a club option for 2027-28 on the 6'6" shooting guard for the sum of close to $5.0 million. So, unless Scheierman improves his production prior to that, Boston may choose to move on from him.
Thus, Stevens and Joe Mazzulla need to monitor Baylor's fit with the team. He may either be a late bloomer (a la Chauncey Billups) or a bust as an NBA-level player. This season and next will determine his future - with Boston or some other club - or he could be out of the League.
