Welcome Baylor Scheierman

[Birdman]

Flipipowski also had double hip surgery which may scare teams away

Downside of this pick:  potentially years of spelling errors.  The "three consecutive vowel" thing is always tricky.

There?s no way I?m spelling it correctly without looking it up first

Think bench scoring and spacing is vital now that KP is out until November/December. Cs will need to survive the first month or two without him.

Think this is why Brad took Baylor...to fill the need of some wing scoring and also so he can focus in on resigning some bigs in FA.

I don't recall if I have every seen him play.  I think we can hope he ends up like a Duncan Robinson or Sam Hauser.  Here is where I see him fitting in nicely:

Holiday               Pritchard               Springer
White                 Hauser-TO             Scheierman
Brown                [   Vet?   ]              Walsh
Tatum                [ Tillman? ]            Queta-TO
Porzingis            Horford                  [ Kornet?  ]

That is not a terrible 3rd unit.  He would fit right in to that Mykhailiuk slot, but hopefully with more upside.  If we do take a player in the 2nd round, I see that player as a 2-way, so may as well go for a high ceiling type.

I do feel we need a legit reliable vet for that second unit wing/swing role, doesn't seem we have someone for that role right now.  Then I wonder if we keep all 3 of Tillman, Kornet, and Queta.  I would prioritize Tillman as he fits that PF role better.  Kornet is better than Queta but may cost more $$$.  Knowing that Porzingis will miss games, Kornet has some value.

I think he is better than Robinson. Baylor is much more of a play maker and rebounder.

Boston need to get 2 bigs off the bench because they are going to be needed to play. And like you said, a vet wing behind JB would help.

Great, I hope you are right.

He may have been bpa, but I wanted a big guy and would have preferred Filipowski. Big man is just a bigger need on team.

Same

The apparently never worked him out - at least based on the info I've seen. So it doesn't seem like they seriously considered him.

As much as Stevens and Mazz are credited for wanting stretch bigs, they don't want bigs that can't play defense. IMO, they prefer PNR defenders and rim protectors that can run hand-offs on offense and may have the potential to shoot.

I think Filip may have difficulties on defense in the NBA.

If we just want a shooter, let's resign Mike Muscala.

Is Filipowski any good?

His profile makes me nervous. He looks like one of those tweener bigs. That 10-15 years ago would have made a nice stretch 4 but those have gone out of style. PFs are now quicker and more skilled (handles, passing, driving in addition to outside shooting). Cs are still big and tough and require interior defense / shot-blocking.

His profile reads like a player built for a different era and not this one.

Am I wrong on this?

Yeah, Mike Muscala! That is what I am seeing / fear.

Scheierman's stats remind me of Podziemski last year only in a bigger body / frame. At 6-6 200lbs vs 6-3 200lbs. The rebounding. The passing. The abiity to be a connectivity player.

I thought Podz was great for GSW last year. He wasn't the defender they needed at guard due to his size but his offense was fantastic especially his ball-handling and passing. They needed that connectivity player.

Is that an interesting comp for Scheierman? Podz in a bigger body would be a great pickup.

How's Scheierman's defense? I think that will be the biggest factor in deciding if he sees the floor this season.
