LET’S FUCKING GO.
NBA Champion and 6th Man Of The Year Payton Pritchard.
That has a nice ring to it, I have to admit.
Payton Pritchard is a tremendous Celtic.
Everything that goes into being a Celtic and playing Celtics basketball, Payton Pritchard embodies and then some.
He’s a legit DAWG.
Competitive as hell, a player that legitimately puts in the work and is obsessed with getting better.
Players who put in the work like Payton Pritchard should be rewarded.
In Boston, I’m not sure even Jayson Tatum has a greener light than Payton Pritchard.
There is no shot he’s not allowed to take.
If you don’t guard him from 35ft, he will shoot it.
If you leave him open in transition, he’s taking the early shot clock 3.
If you leave him in the corner, that’s going up.
Really it’s like Pritchard and Steph Curry in terms of the caliber of their green light.
It’s what makes watching him so much fun.
This year though, we learned that NBA Champion Payton Pritchard is now a complete player.
He’s figured out how to bend defenses, show patience with his drive and create for others.
No more picking up his dribble early and panicking.
Now he’s finishing over people at the rim.
Oh, and he also almost never turns the ball over.
You’re getting 5-7 assists a night with virtually no mistakes.
A player with supreme confidence because he knows he put in the work.
A player you never have to worry about energy, playing hard, or toughness.
Only McHale, Walton, and Pritchard ever won 6MOYanda title.
Not a bad group to find yourself in if you ask me.
