Creighton guard Baylor Scheierman, who transferred earlier this month from South Dakota State, will not enter the NBA Draft, his agency, NEXT Sports Agency, confirmed to The Athletic. The 6-foot-6 guard chose the Bluejays over Arkansas, Clemson, Duke and Nebraska.
Scheierman is the reigning Summit League Player of the Year after averaging 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game for the Jackrabbits. South Dakota State finished 30-5 last season, winning the conference before falling to Providence in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Scheierman led all players in that game in points, rebounds and assists.
What does Scheierman bring to Creighton?
Sam Vecenie, NBA draft senior writer: One of the best shooters in college basketball. Scheierman made 46 percent of his 169 3-point attempts last season, one of the top-10 marks in the country for any player to attempt at least 100 shots from distance.
