Sam Hauser started and played out his high school career at SPASH. 

While at high school, during his junior year, Sam Hauser was a part of and contributed significantly to his team's 27-1 run as well as his team win in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 1 state championship, where he scored the 25 points against the Germantown High School. 

For his senior year, he helped his team go unbeaten during the whole season and win the state championship again. During his senior year, he was named the Wisconsin Gatorade Player of the Year and co-shared the "Wisconsin Mr. Basketball" honors with his teammate. 

For his college career, Sam Hauser selected Marquette University and their team Marquette Golden Eagles, above several other potential suitors.  

Sam Hauser started his college career at Marquette University with Marquette Golden Eagles. 

During his freshman year, Hauser scored his career-high 19 points for Marquette as well as was very efficient from the 3-point line with a 45.3 percent shooting. Also, Hauser led his team in defensive rebounding and minutes.

For his sophomore season, Sam Hauser improved his game and also scored his career-high 30 points during a game against Eastern Illinois in a win. He went on to score another 30 points to match his career high but in a losing effort. He finished the season with better stats than his freshman year.

During his junior year at college, Sam Hauser was joined by his younger brother and they played together. During this year, he recorded his career-high rebounds with 14 as well as went on to record his career high in scoring with 31 points. He concluded the season with better stats in scoring and rebounds but missed career-high numbers in assists by a bit. However, he was named into the second team All-Big East for his efforts.

For his senior year in college, Sam Hauser decided to transfer to the University of Virginia and its basketball team Virginia Cavaliers. He ended his senior year with an average of 16 points on the board, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. After his senior year, he decided to go into the NBA draft in 2021.

Sam Hauser went undrafted in the 2021 NBA draft. 

However, he signed a two-way contract with Boston Celtics. A two-way contract meant he would be compensated according to the team and league he was assigned to play in. 

Boston Celtics assigned Sam Hauser to play for the Celtic's first team and its G League affiliate, Maine Celtics, to develop and grow him along the way. 

Sam Hauser made his professional NBA debut on November 20, 2021, in a match against the Oklahoma City Thunders. 

Hauser’s contract was changed from a two-way into a standard NBA contract by the Boston Celtics on February 1, 2022. During the 2022 NBA season, the Boston Celtics went into the finals, where they bowed out to the eventual champions, Golden State Warriors. 

Sam Hauser also played a part in Boston Celtic’s post-season run as he played seven games for the Celtics in the postseason.  

On July 3, 2022, Sam Hauser signed a new contract with the Celtics for three years on, a $6 million deal. 

Sam Hauser most recently scored his career-high 24 points in the NBA in a match against Detroit Pistons. The Boston Celtics won the game 128-112. 

Sam Hauser scored 24 points during his 31:51 minutes in court. Not only did he score his highest-ever points in the NBA, but he also did it with utmost efficiency in the process. 

Sam Hauser recorded a 60.00 field goal percentage as well as clinical form behind the lines with a 50 percent efficiency. 

He was the third-highest scorer in the game for the Celtics, or the third-highest scorer in any team, behind only Jayson Tatum’s 31 and Jaylen Brown’s 30 points, respectively.

Sam Hauser's stats are not over the top, as he has just played one entire season of the NBA and is currently in his second season. 

A glance at his career stats tells us he is a proficient shooter both from the field and behind the lines. Also, his defensive rebounding skills have been helpful for his teams wherever he has played. 

Boston Celtics have lacked an out-and-out shooter who can shoot a pure shot into the basket, and not having one has cost them many times. 

Now, with Sam Hauser and his abilities on their side, Boston Celtics can feel confident when it comes to shooting them, as Hauser's abilities can complement Tatum's and Brown's games well. 

Today's NBA is a shooting league and having a pure shooter within its ranks is always a plus for any team. Boston Celtics now seem to have their sharpshooter when they take the court.
