Sam Hauser’s Continuing Value to the Celtics…
For a while, Sam Hauser seemed as likely to stay in Boston as a snowball in a sauna. He was all lined up with Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday for a potential trade. But as Boston squeezed out of the financial crunch, Hauser proved his worth as a steal of a deal. Sure, trading him seemed logical for financial reasons, but Boston needs him right now like a squirrel needs its winter acorns! With his shooting skills in high demand, he’s not just a shooter but a solid, slightly defensive player too.
Hauser’s shooting stats are hotter than a jalapeño in a heatwave, ranking 13th in NBA three-point percentage, making him a key part of Jayson Tatum’s bench lineups. His ability to consistently find space on the court is more magical than finding an extra fry at the bottom of your fast-food bag. Even when Tatum and Brown hit the bench, Hauser’s presence keeps the Celtics soaring with impressive net ratings. Though some defenders rush him like they’re late for a Black Friday sale, Hauser’s been upping his game off the dribble. The Celtics’ offseason changes mean lots of opportunities, and Hauser is one of the prime candidates to step up.
