Reserve Boston Celtics swingman Sam Hauser was hyped up by his teammates as being a potentially major part of the Celtics’ offense in their coming 2022-23 campaign, which of course elicited a bit of skepticism from fans and analysts both given how sparsely he saw the floor in 2021-22.
But so far in the Celtics’ preseason contests the Virginia product has been absolutely crushing it from beyond the arc, opening up the floor, and breaking the backs of opposing defenses. In Wednesday’s 125-119 preseason loss to the Charlotte Hornets, Hauser put up 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 26 minutes of floor time, shooting an absurd 8-of-12 from the floor overall, including 5-of-8 from 3-point range.
Take a look at the highlight reel put together by YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski to see how electric Hauser’s 3-point stroke has become.
