This feels like the Langford pick last year. Not happy with it. Hope it proves other wise.
I really struggle to see the similarities
Langford was a great prospect out of high school who needed to refine his game and jumper and increase defensive effort and focus to pair with his prototype 2/3 physical profile and natural scoring ability. He was young and relatively raw. His warts in college were hopefully explained by injury and horrible team construction at Indiana. He was on some level a project.
Pritchard is an older and experienced player who has no injury history. His jumper is already there and doesn’t need to be fixed. His warts are all tied to his physical profile. His effort level of defense is terrific but his physical abilities leave him a question there anyway. His iq feel for the game and jumper are basically unquestioned but is he the athlete and natural scorer necessary to succeed on the NBA level? He’s like the opposite of Langford on every level.
