Knew this place would be a mess after the game, so just got on here this morning to say exactly this. We need to quit having Pritchard be the primary ball handler when he’s in the game at the very least. It’s doing nothing for his confidence.
The contract extension for Pritchard is starting to look like a mistake. At this rate, we won't even be able to trade him because his play on the court is tanking any trade value he had left.
Hope he turns it around.
But in the meantime, we need to win games so I'm certainly open to giving Banton/Svi a chance in there to see if they can do better.
I like Banton more than most, but last night wasn't the game to give him a chance (not saying you are saying he should have last night either as I know you like Banton as well). Right now what Pritchard has provided is some pressure defense in the full court press with White and Jrue (Banton can do that), be a pretty decent defensive option on the switches (Banton can do that with his size), miss 3's (Banton can do that too lol), get into the lane (Banton can do that but can actually finish too). Pritchard did make some clutch 3's, but that seems like forever ago.
My worry with Svi is a little different and it's defensively how he'd do. I think against lesser opponents we should try each to know how they'll play with the starters.
