I like Pritchard a lot. He was one of my draft binkies when he came out. With that said if he can't start hitting his shot, which has been horrid, I'd start giving his minutes to  Svi Mykhailiuk. Svi can do the things Pritchard can and he can shoot. Pritchard is the better defender but Svi is 6 inches taller.

PP has struggled offensively, but he is a descent rebounder and adequate defender.

...but i hear you

yeah  this has been so disapponiting.  i was really hoping he'd be a spark off the bench

its still early

but if he cant play better they should look to trade him for a different vet backup pg

tj oconnel was mentioned in another thread.

our bench is super thin. fine during regular season. but playoff time - ugh

svi looked good preseason

but of course pritchard looked like an all star in preseason

so, idk

but yeah could give svi some run and see what happens

  • takes.....MAKES!!!!
I am with the OP 100% - play Svi.


And I would add - play L Stevens over O Brisset, Lamar does everything Brisset does energy, defense, rebounding wise and is also so much more competent offensively.

Pritchard is the worst shooter in the NBA:

Anyone seen nerdlucks in the TD Garden? They stole Pritchard's shooting talent.

I'm not a Pritchard guy but it's seven games into the season and you just signed him to a four-year extension -- you have to keep playing him and hope he sorts himself out over time. You're about 40 games away from giving up on him and benching him.

It’s a pickle, boys.

He has to do better than this eventually, right? I mean, I know that he wasn’t a major minutes eater before, but we’ve seen him play and not suck this bad when he was younger.
