BOSTON — A few days after Baylor Scheierman was drafted, he met Jayson Tatum at the Auerbach Center.
“The first day I stepped foot into the practice facility, he was there signing his new contract,” Scheierman told CelticsBlog earlier this month. “And just from the jump, he was always there for me to talk to.”
Scheierman, selected with the No. 30 pick in the NBA Draft, signed his rookie contract the same day Tatum signed his supermax extension.
And, from the jump, his superstar teammate served as an approachable source of information and guidance.
