An anonymous NBA general manager doesn’t know if disgruntled Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard can find the major role he’s looking for anywhere across the league’s 30 franchises — and he shared these doubts with Heavy’s Steve Bulpett.
“I like him, I definitely think he can help a team,” the general manager prefaced before saying, “But he needs to be in a perfect situation to get a 25-minute-a-game role,” he said. “I’m not sure where that is.”
The general manager feels Pritchard is dealing with an identity crisis as a young player who wants to prove to his peers that he belongs.
