The Celtics are 9-2, and Payton Pritchard is bringing his A-game so far in this quest to repeat. Who would have thought his trajectory would continue to ascend after an already significant development in the NBA Finals?
With Jaylen Brown going down for a few games with an unknown injury severity, Pritchard’s precision shooting has been infinitely valuable for this team to stop runs and build momentum. We talked about Tatum and Brown gaining ultimate confidence after a title, but the same can be true for underdog mentalities like Pritchard’s.
There’s so much to be said for a guy like Pritchard, especially in today’s modern NBA, so I wouldn’t ever take him for granted. Payton Pritchard can keep the major cog of this Celtics machine going.
