My Take
Payton Pritchard is the kind of player who makes you a believer in the "short guys who just won't quit" category. Growing up in Tualatin, Oregon and becoming a standout at West Linn High School before starring for the Oregon Ducks — where he was a Naismith Award finalist as a senior — this guy has been proving doubters wrong his whole career. With the Boston Celtics he carved out a real role as one of the league's most reliable bench contributors, known especially for that deep, confident three-point shooting that feels almost reckless until it goes in. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and a motor that never stops, and watching him drain a half-court buzzer-beater in the 2024 playoffs was one of those pure basketball moments you just don't forget.
