But he’s been an offensive rebounding beast! Of the 64 players under 6’4” (min 15 games played), he’s second in offensive rebounding rate (4.9%) behind Jordan Goodwin. Third is Westbrook.
He has a higher offensive rebounding rate than Horford and Grant lmao.

I was going to comment on just that. Last night, just as the 3rd quarter was coming to an end, he hustled to pull down two offensive rebounds. Highlight reel stuff, really. It's something that he seems to have a knack for.

If you mean that nobody guards him on offense, that's nonsense.
If, more plausibly, you mean nobody boxes him out -- well, that's equally true of lots of other guys who don't grab as many offensive boards.

Just saying Pritchard's offensive boards are not due to skill but because of defensive inattention. That's not a criticism. Just an observation. It's to Pritchard's credit that he's taking advantage of what the defense gives him.

I suspect it's a bit more than just a high level of corner-crashing effort. He also may have some skill at recognizing early where the ball is likely to go.

A little better on defense and rebounds and a little more play making too. Is the shooting that much of a difference that he couldn’t make up for it other places?

You're saying Pritchard is better on defense than Seth Curry? No way. Especially not Seth Curry when he was younger and in his prime..
