The Boston Celtics supposedly have a hole to fill at point guard. Marcus Smart starting at the one is a no-brainer, but there is a serious lack of depth.

Luckily for the Cs, Payton Pritchard showed immense promise last season. With Kemba Walker gone, he is poised for a breakout sophomore season.

Pritchard wrapped up an unexpectedly great first season by finishing seventh on the team in scoring. He appeared in 66 games, playing 19.2 minutes per.

The most impressive stat to note, however, was his three-point shooting.
