Really good read. Heat almost got Hauser. Celtics made him their top undrafted choice. Relationship with his agent (who reps Brown, Horford, Jrue, Grant formerly IINM) and Brad's history of building the Butler program helped in getting him too.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.
Sam who?: As the 2021 NBA draft came to a close, without a selection in either round that year, the Heat reached a preliminary agreement with undrafted Virginia guard Sam Hauser to be part of the team’s summer program.
Shortly thereafter, the Celtics contacted Hauser’s agent with an offer of a two-way contract.

Drew Carter is using the Hauwitser nickname I suggested here a long time ago. Not taking credit for it, but still waiting for royalty checks to come in.
