Which player on the Boston Celtics is best at playing football (that is not named Baylor Scheierman, that is)? Scheierman recently spilled the tea on which of his fellow Celtics teammates are the best at playing the sport he played in high school before becoming a top basketball prospect who would end up in Boston by way of Creighton.
The former Celtics rookie sat down with the hosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning, Noa Dalzell, and John Zannis, for a wide-ranging exclusive interview this week, and they got into the level of football competence as a topic of conversation with Scheierman.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about who can throw down on the gridiron and more.

Lakers, Warriors, or Pacers? Myles Turner's Free Agency Landing Spots Revealed
The Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games and will take on either the New York Knicks or the Boston Celtics. However, they have a busy offseason ahead of them. They own their own first-round pick, and starting center Myles Turner will be an unrestricted free agent. Advertisement Turner has long been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Golden State Warriors have a very clear need in the frontcourt. On league insider recently revealed where Turner is leaning with his decision. Myles Turner free agency Fisher Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and two blocks this season. He shot a solid 48.1 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from deep, serving as one of the best floor-spacers in the league. While the Lakers and Warriors can offer bigger markets and superstars for him to play next to, Turner has only ever played for the Pacers. On top of that, Indiana did not get eliminated in the earlier rounds like the Lakers and Warriors did, making his choice easy. Advertisement "The rising expectation, league sources say, is that Turner will be extending his stay in the Hoosier State," NBA insider Jake Fischer wrote. Indiana can offer just as much money, if not more, than LA or Golden State, and allow him to be the third-best player on the team, barring a breakout from Bennedict Mathurin or Andrew Nesmith, which would be welcome. Indiana seems ready to march to their first Finals appearance since 2000 this season, and will be able to run things back next year with a similar roster. With the Cavs reeling from an early elimination and the Boston Celtics dealing with injuries and difficult financials, the usually weak Eastern Conference will be the Pacers' for the taking next season, provided they retain Turner.

Scouting a potential Boston Celtics draft pick out of Penn State
The Boston Celtics have two picks in the upcoming NBA Draft. They will be selecting with the 28th and 32nd picks. Brad Stevens will likely prioritize players who have spent multiple years at the collegiate level, meaning they're more polished entering the league and have a better chance of earning some minutes off the bench. Following Jayson Tatum's Achilles tendon injury, Boston isn't expected to be a championship contender next season. As such, the Celtics could put some additional focus into the upcoming draft and their overall player development. Advertisement During a recent episode of the "How 'Bout Them Celtics?" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance dove into Yanic Konan Niederhauser, who is expected to be available in Boston's range. The 7-foot big man spent two seasons with the Northern Illinois Huskies before moving to Penn State for the 2024-25 collegiate season. In 29 outings, he averaged 12.9 points, 2.3 blocks and 6.3 rebounds, shooting 61.1% from the field. You can watch the full scouting report by clicking on the embedded video above.
