Baylor Scheierman: stats, last game & news

When Baylor Scheierman steps onto NBA courts with the Boston Celtics, few would guess that just a few years ago, this Nebraska native was excelling just as much on the football field as on the basketball court. A record-setting quarterback with 3,942 passing yards and 59 touchdowns, he led his high school team to a state championship, while also shining in baseball and golf.

This exceptional athletic versatility naturally carried over to the basketball court. After beginning his college career at South Dakota State before transferring to Creighton, Scheierman carved his name into college basketball history by becoming the first Division I player to accumulate at least 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 500 assists, and 300 three-pointers.

That statistic captures the very essence of his game: a rare versatility that transcends traditional positions. A forward capable of rebounding like a big man, distributing like a point guard, and shooting from long range, Scheierman embodies a modern profile that is highly sought after in the NBA. His path was not straightforward — he even tested the NBA Draft waters before returning to finish his college career.

Selected 30th overall by the Celtics in 2024, this son of a Hastings College basketball player joins a franchise known for developing smart, versatile players. At 24, Scheierman has the maturity and experience needed to adapt quickly to the demands of the highest level, armed with a unique skill set forged through years of multi-sport competition.
