Celtics Point Guard Drama…
Payton Pritchard is ready to flourish in a bigger role with the Celtics. After an incredible season, he donned the crown for 6th Man of the Year, boasting averages of 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. The man’s true shooting percentage could practically pierce the heavens at 63%. Despite tiny starts in 347 games, it’s like sending a squirrel to do a gopher’s job—Pritchard should be the first choice to start. The talk of Anfernee Simons likely leaving Boston is as spicy as trying to salsa dance on ice, making Pritchard an even more appealing long-term point guard.
With superstars like Jayson Tatum likely sitting out, Pritchard steps into the spotlight as the third wheel with Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Could he fly too close to the sun, only to end up like a burnt pancake? Celtics fans must find out. The intrigue around his potential All-Star capabilities is enough to make a plot twist in a soap opera jealous. Let’s see if he can shoot more off the bounce or if he’ll bounce right into becoming the next best thing. His willingness to expand his game might make him as iconic as reading an entire book on a single Sunday afternoon.
