Former Oregon Duck point guard Payton Pritchard just turned in a career-best season for the Boston Celtics and he's being recognized for it.
Pritchard was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year with a career-high 14.3 points per game and shooting nearly 41 percent from the three-point line. He averaged over three deep balls a game this year.
Boston finished with a 61-21 record which was good for the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Payton has been known for some buzzer-beaters and halfcourt shots, but this season, he showed he can be a valuable member of one of the best teams in the NBA.
