It's a credit to Sam for working hard since joining the Celtics, and a credit to Brad (and staff) for scouting and seeing something in Hauser to sign him.
It was kind of a thing to lament the UDFA guys that got away (like the Bol Bol fade, or Strus etc). But Boston has killed it in that department under Brad. Hauser's easily mid-first round value as a player in terms of on-court production at a lower $ cost than that. Kornet has been a great find as an UDFA. Queta is early but possibly trending that way.
We will see where Banton goes (plenty of first rounders miss) but Brad stated he felt Banton was like their first round project for the year.
Really commendable job what they've done in in the UDFA market.
