With Jeff Teague out, someone needed to step up and that man is rookie Payton Pritchard. There were concerns at the beginning of the season that his defensive skills were not NBA level, he has proven that theory wrong showing that he is an annoying back court defender. He scored 23 points with 8 assists in the best rookie performance yet from the Class of 2020.

Chris Grenham did a victory lap on the Pritchard pick on Celtics Beat with Evan Valenti.
