Payton Pritchard humbled by Sixth Man honors, but knows the work has just begun

The lofty goals Payton Pritchard set and the hard work he put in over the past few seasons paid off Tuesday as the Celtics guard was named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

Pritchard said receiving the award is an honor and a sign that he is on the right path. He is driven to continue the growth that put him in this position.

The 6-foot-1-inch, 195-pound guard has faced his share of doubters over the course of his basketball career. He took his game to another level this year and now has a trophy to show for it.
