What lessons can the Boston Celtics learn from the 2025 NBA Finals? The Celtics find themselves in a position they are not often in over the course of the last several years, watching the postseason unfold after an early exit in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round at the hands of the New York Knicks.

The Scheierman angle is interesting as he’s just coming off his rookie season in the NBA. Scheierman, 24, was picked 30th overall by the Celtics in last year’s draft. While he didn’t play much to open his rookie season, seeing plenty of time in the G League, he showed his development over the second half of the year.

The 22-year-old is a solid rebounder and rim protector who can also hit a shot at a good rate from beyond the arc.
