Jrue has to make a layup at some point

Pritchard focuses exclusively on passing is probably the right role for the team when he's on the court and there's always at least one of the JT, JB, Jrue, or KP on the court with him. And nearly always 2 of those players.

We almost always want him to pass instead of shoot. But it's come at the cost of him getting into any rhythm for his shots and his skill as a player was a microwave scorer not a passer so it's an awkward fit.

Also Jrue is ALMOST perfect but he often ends up making dumbass passes that leads to turnovers or like blowing that wide open layup that leads to a fast break. Otherwise he'd be an efficiency machine. Gives me Smart PTSD, luckily it's just 5-10% of the bad Smart instead of the 50% of the time Smart would do it.

They're not even guarding Pritchard right now.

Even a superstar like Tatum can’t save Pritchard from being a scrub

So what...? Is it all mental with Pritchard? He shoots lights out over preseason, and now he can't hit wide open corner 3's?

Time to let Banton get a little run and let PP collect himself on the bench for a while.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

If I was Brad Stevens I would shove Pritchard in a closet until Hagrid comes and takes him away and he can go be busy battling bald people idk

Rough quarter from Jrue so far. Perhaps we should have white running the second unit with JT?

He also lights up his competition in Pro-Ams. There's something about playing NBA players that just doesn't sit well with him.

Embiid respecting Kornet's three point shot instead of sagging off of him.

Kornet is an all time bad rebounder. My god
