The rap on Boston Celtics reserve forward Sam Hauser coming into the NBA’s 2022-23 season was the former Virginia player could not defend particularly well even if he could make opposing defenses regret leaving him open from the 3-point line. And as we know through hindsight, that nonsense about his defense was very, very overblown. Hauser demonstrated he can hold his own on both ends of the court.
The Celtics sharpshooter had a very good season with Boston, putting up a respectable 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game across an average of 16.1 minutes played per contest while shooting 45.5% from the floor, 41.8% from deep, and 70.6% from the line.
