Another step closer: 10 Takeaways from Celtics/Hornets

Sam Hauser shot 7-of-11 from deep against the Charlotte Hornets. A lot of his buckets came via off-ball movement, specifically “shaking,” — which is a fancy way of saying he cut out of the corner toward the wing or the baseline.

I’ll probably say this a dozen more times between now and whenever the Boston Celtics season ends: Hauser is one of the best movement shooters in the NBA. His timing of when to re-locate into space to generate a passing lane for the ball-handler continues to get better and better. As you can see in the above clip, Hauser “shakes” into space on the wing, where Payton Pritchard has a better angle to make the pass.
