Welcome to Boston, Payton Pritchard!!!

[cman88]

He has a high Basketball IQ. It's rare for a rookie to look so comfortable out there.

But that's not to say Nesmith won't get there eventually. 4 year guys generally have a higher floor but a lower ceiling. Hopefully Prichard can continue to improve

But he has been a bright spot this early season off the bench. One not necessarily expected

Interesting.  Knicks did trade up to 25...  to select Quickley... wonder how Ainge was feeling just before 25th pick was announced

Before we start hanging his number from the rafters can we just appreciate this guy for what he's doing right now and not jump right to putting him in the HoF.

I've seen this crap with semi and well pretty much anyone on our bench, and it just ruins the experience for some of us.

 Because what ends up happening is the guy's name will pop up as in a trade and then "we can't trade this guy unless we're getting lebron and durant in return".

Please let's just appreciate the guy what he's doing right now and keep it there.

You saw this with Semi?

Nope... when was there ever a Semi hype train?

Came across this article about him.

Interesting how his team upset Jaylen’s in high school.  Jaylen was already familiar with him.

I'll say this -

We just did a Historical Draft where NO ONE we picked was top 11 in ANY draft.

Nuggets CAN be found.

I'm still holding off gushing praise on P2 but let's hope BOS has found OUR nugget.

So far he's been solid.

[Ogaju]

he probably played Jaylen in College.

Nice to have an all star PG and Kemba on the team

If one didn't know who went 14th or 26th in the draft. They would guess PP went 14th

He knows how to play.  It was good to see him get expanded mins.  Those slo mo drives against trees is effective

The more ammo you have in the draft, the better chance you have to hit. We have a great GM who builds the right way.

Pritchard has more of the opportunity obviously based on depth at his position. While Nesmith will have to battle against all of the other Ainge draft picks. Tatum, Brown, Smart, Semi, & Romeo. Going to be difficult to develop behind those guys.

Biggest question about Pritchard was Defense. He’s obviously no Jimmer Fredette on that side of the ball. That’s why he’s got a chance to be starting for a long, long, time. Heckuva pick

Call HOU right NOW.......................................

I think the real trading piece is...PAYTON PRITCHARD!!! For James Harden.
