BOSTON — Threes haven’t been falling for Payton Pritchard. Through the first 16 days of the regular season, 39 players have attempted at least 50 three-pointers. Of them, Pritchard ranks dead last in efficiency at 22.4%. He’s shot just 15-of-67. Shrink that parameter to at least 20 three-point attempts, and Pritchard is still 188th out of 193 NBA players.
