Creighton's Rebounding Sharpshooter Turned NBA Breakout Star
Baylor Scheierman, the Creighton Bluejays guard who dominated the 2023-24 college season with 18.5 PPG, 9.0 RPG, and 3.9 APG—leading the nation in rebounding among guards—has transitioned seamlessly to the NBA with the Boston Celtics. In 2025-26, he's averaging 5.5 PPG, 3.5 RPG, and 1.5 APG in 23 games, exploding for 30 points (6/14 3PT) vs. Orlando and 17 vs. Houston, showcasing elite shooting (59.5% TS), playmaking vision, and relentless rebounding intensity. His 6'7" frame, confidence, and G League dominance (20.4 PPG) make him a versatile, high-IQ fit for contending teams needing spacing and hustle.
