Payton Pritchard

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.

Payton Michael Pritchard (born January 28, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Oregon Ducks, where he earned second-team all-conference honors in the Pac-12 as a sophomore. Pritchard was a finalist for the Naismith College Player of the Year in his senior year.
