Last season, the Boston Celtics failed to utilize Payton Pritchard, and it came back to bite them. By midseason, Pritchard had requested a trade, and that unhappiness trickled over into the playoffs, and he did not see the floor much. Fast forward to this offseason, and Pritchard is playing well for the Team USA Select team.
Pritchard’s strong play for the Select team is interesting, and the Cs should be taking notice. It also begs the question: what is the franchise’s plan with Pritchard?
The Celtics need to learn from their mistake last season, as they only played Pritchard 13 minutes per game.
