We’ll have to see about how JT feels about him coming for the #1 gunner job. I could see this turning into a Shaq/Kobe dynamic lookout

This is why I enjoy not knowing the first thing about any college players. I have no strong emotions about any picks at all, until they start playing for us. All I know on draft night is we have a couple of new Celtics.

Well, my friend ain't lying :wink:

Don't take it the wrong way, you'd make a great president. Sometimes you're right, and you never let mounting evidence alter your opinion.

Start this kid and put Theis on the bench.

Pritchard to me style wise plays like Chris Paul but with average instead of elite quickness.

So many brutal takes from those who clearly had never seen him play and don’t watch CBB lol. The hysteria when he was picked on draft night was laughable

Still to early but I really liked the pick when we drafted him. I called him our point guard version of Tyler Hero. Nice to see him playing well early on and people here jumping on the wagon.

Also props to Brad for playing him. People saying Brad doesn’t play rookies.

Hopefully Pritchard's breakout means Ainge can cut Teague very soon and replace him with a wing.

Mark Price as his ceiling. As Celtic fans, we would all be lucky if Pritchard can get to that level.

You gotta be kidding. One of the few vets and with offensive talent and poise and you want to cut him. That's foolish.
If you want to cut someone to sign a wing I can give you some names for sure:

Semi
Carsen
Tacko
Waters

Teague is so talented on offense that he's shooting 27% from the field and gets more shots blocked than he makes them. He throws the ball to the other team on simple entry passes, and his idea of defense is casually swiping at the ball as his defender blows him by at walking pace. I would rather play Semi at point guard than Teague.
