 Celtics sophomore, Baylor Scheierman , seems to be getting a lot of attention from his coach, Joe Mazzulla . In last night's win over the Chicago Bulls , Scheierman started his 8th contest of the season and contributed 10 points, five boards, one assist and one steal. The 6'6" shooting guard hit 2-of-7 from the fieeld and 2-of-5 from deep . Baylor is averaging 45% on field goals for the season and 39% on threes .

He looks to be a  "keeper" for Brad Stevens.

And on a personal note: Happy for Vooch to chase a title but will miss covering him. As accessible and professional as they get "As accessible and professional as they get" . That suggests that "Vooch" is an NBA player of high character - a quality looked for by most League teams, ...
