Is reserve forward Sam Hauser the Boston Celtics’ best shooter?
According to Bleacher Report’s Mo Dakhil, Boston Celtics reserve forward Sam Hauser ” might be the best pure shooter” on the team. “He never shot lower than 40% for a season in college and was a career 43.9 % 3-point shooter.”
The Virginia alumnus has become a key cog in Boston’s rotation, serving as a lethal option for the Celtics’ star wings Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to pass to as they attack the cup. “In the 10 games he spent in the G League last season, he shot 43.3% from 3 on 9 attempts per contest,” observed Dakhil. “In limited time in the NBA last season, the 24-year-old shot 43.2% from deep.
“This season he’s connecting on 47.9% of his 3s. He is doing that on 4.6 attempts per night while getting 16.7 minutes,” he adds.

“If Hauser is in the game, he is going to get shots up—and they are probably going in.”
