Boston Celtics depth chart for 2024-25 NBA season after drafting Baylor Scheierman

The confetti has settled on the Boston Celtics' celebrations after winning their 18th banner, but President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens isn't resting on his laurels. With a championship core locked in, Boston used the 30th pick in the 2024 draft to select Baylor Scheierman, a versatile forward from Creighton.

The 6-foot-6, 23-year-old forward is anything but ordinary. An experienced old head with proven skill, Baylor is coming off an outstanding senior year where he averaged 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and a career-best 3-point attempts, easing the burden of team expectations on first. This well-rounded production earned him a slew of NCAA Men's All-American honors.

Scheierman has toured the NBA this month interviewing with teams. While some may scoff at a 23-year-old late first-round pick, Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens is apparently banking on Scheierman's stability alongside his winning pedigree.

The Celtics, who are regularly Eastern Conference challengers, will be hoping to persuade their squad towards another title in 2024-25.

Let's explore how the Celtics are shaping up for the 2024-25 season and where Baylor Scheierman fits into their already deep roster.

Boston Celtics depth chart for next season

Scheierman will be able to learn from a deep roster that includes experienced players such as Al Horford, and All-Stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. He has the potential to provide instant bench scoring with his shooting ability. But with their excellent depth in the wings, the Celtics can be patient with Scheierman, who will be given the time to grow his game.

Scheierman's rebounding prowess adds value to the Celtics, especially in small-ball lineups. His ability to secure boards can ignite fast breaks and create additional scoring opportunities.
