Is Baylor Scheierman a viable starter for the Celtics?

I need to start with a confession: at the beginning of this season, I wasn’t a Baylor Scheierman believer. Not because he wasn’t good, but more that he was hard for me to place. He wasn’t jumping off the screen in any obvious way, and he didn’t dominate one skill the way some of the […]
