Didn't Brad say at one point that Pritchard has had some injury issues that have been restricting his playing time? I seem to recall this in in one of the interviews somebody posted here maybe 2 or so week back.
I think he also said he's looking at possible roster changes because they want Pritchard and Nesmith to have bigger roles.
Think the bolded bit might have been a well sourced rumor rather than a quote from Brad iirc.
The other bit might be a quote from Brad indeed.
The flip side to that is that if Ime and Brad wanted Aaron and Payton to have bigger roles they can give them bigger roles right now. He’s had many opportunities to give them more playing time especially in the past 10 games when we have had big leads.
Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct one - there’s other players in the team that Ime and Brad consider to be ahead in terms of impacting winning. I don’t think the trust is quite there yet. But that doesn’t mean it never will be - Timelord “rotted on the bench” for a couple of years and look at him now. That’s also something Brad said in the interview, lack of PR doesn’t mean they’ve given up on them. Sometimes they need more seasoning

If I recall correctly one of the members here actually copy and pasted the interview directly.
That might have been me
and yes he did say Payton struggled with an injury, I forget what it was but I can look it up later.
