Payton Pritchard shares his goals following a career year that earned him the Sixth Man Award.
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard walked into training camp last season and declared that his stated goals were to become more efficient shooting threes off the dribble and to become a more impactful on-ball defender.
He responded by placing in the top five in effective field goal percentage on pull-up threes among those hoisting at least two per contest. That category adjusts field goal percentage to account for the added value of attempts from behind the arc.
