Most of us seem to think PP held up quite well on defense. Not sure what you watched.
Particularly as he was frequently having to guard Banchero and Wagner. Despite the size disparity, Pritchard did a commendable job guarding them. Abused? I don't think so.
This interview with PP sheds some light on his defensive mindset, and acknowledges his defensive efforts. PP speaks of his commitment to improving his defensive game. Yeah, PP may not be a premier defender, but he HAS improved his defense, has received recognition for that, and continues to work towards improving that aspect of his game. Knowing PP, can anyone doubt that he will continue to put forth high effort, and that we will see positive results on the court?
