It shouldnt be a surprise. You can't have the Celtics without a white dude shooting lights out really . And this lad brings the 'spice'

good white Celtics shooters in the last 45 years:
Bird
Ainge
Ford
Sichting
Wedman
--35-year gap--
Hauser
who am I missing? I mean McHale had an amazing FG%, but not because he was a 'shooter' -- though in his latter years he had a couple of seasons of taking (and making some) 3s!
go back more than 45 years and there's no 3ptFGs, obviously, but Hondo was a good shooter, and I have to admit I don't really know Cowens' game, he shot FTs pretty well? And then in the 60s Nelson and Sharman and .. 50s Macauley? I'm grasping at straws by this point. Likely I took bait I shouldn't have bothered with.

Only 64 games with the Cs, but Wally Szczerbiak.

A group that included the Celtics, Warriors, Timberwolves, Spurs, Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Heat told Glushon they had interest in Hauser if he was not drafted. The Heat are known for turning undrafted prospects into sturdy NBA veterans, and Hauser’s camp agreed that if all offers were equal, he would join Miami’s summer league team.
“I saw what Duncan [Robinson] had done and Max Strus had done [with the Heat],” Hauser said. “Obviously, they have a good culture for producing guys like that.”
Meanwhile, the Celtics’ pursuit of Hauser was gaining momentum. There was brief debate among decision-makers about Hauser’s athleticism, how he would mesh with the current roster, and whether, at 6 feet 8 inches, he was best suited to play small forward or power forward in the NBA. But they concluded that these were minor concerns.
“We all agreed that he should be our top target once the draft ended,” Zarren said.
