After five years in the league and just 17 career starts, there was real pressure on Payton Pritchard to prove he could be a starting-caliber point guard. Through the first 45 games, he’s done exactly that.
Pritchard ranks first in the NBA in isolation efficiency, scoring 1.2 points per isolation while ranking just 32nd in isolation volume. Showing elite efficiency without heavy usage. His growth hasn’t been limited to just scoring.
