I keep forgetting he’s on the Sixers now. Bums me out every time I remember it.

I was really hoping he’d come back.

I didn’t think there was much chance of him coming back (Pritch should keep coming off the bench, and you don’t need both of those guys in the same role). Sucks that he went to Philly on short money, though. Would have loved to see him somewhere where I could keep rooting for him, LOL.

The way he was treated he wasn’t coming back

I don’t know if people realize there are so many things that show Payton can pretty easily scale his game up to be a high end #2 option. Like, I think Derrick will probably still be our 2nd most impactful player, but that won’t ever be his offensive role.

Payton was elite as shit at iso, in the short mid range, when Tatum was on the court (or Jaylen was off), when he was without Jaylen and Derrick (122 offensive rating), or when given high usage (25%+) last season. All the things you are looking for when you think someone can scale up their usage dramatically.

Also, God, Jrue is still so fucking good. Brad really did not want to have to trade him. Easily the best player on the Blazers.

I want Pritch to play starters’ minutes, I want him on the floor in crunch time, but I still want him coming off the bench. Just such a weapon to have him come in and just start cooking. Feels like he’s underutilized if he’s playing alongside both Tatum and PG.

Also, relatively small sample size but those 4 are an absolute wagon, which is why that + PG is going to be our starting lineup. That will be the best starting lineup in the NBA.

He’s not coming off the bench lol. He only came off the bench later into the year because they had a big sample size of him playing so much better without JB, and they weren’t going to bench the guy they pay $60m, so Brad got him out of the way. He had over a 70% TS% last year with Tatum on the floor. 88% at the rim. He’s going to play most of his minutes with Tatum. I imagine they’ll rotate PP/Tatum and White/Paul. He will be our #2 option and average 23-25 points.

Yes, I agree. He’ll be the 2nd option on offense and will also probably get the second most minutes per game and I don’t think it’s even a question that he’ll lead the team and overall minutes during the season as I mentioned in my previous post

Just because he’s coming off, the bench does not mean he is not gonna play a ton of minutes with JT …

In your previous post, you failed to mention that he actually increased his scoring average and productivity when he was moved to the bench last season….

Not sure why the mindset exist that just because you don’t start the game doesn’t mean you’re not one of the best players on the team…

I mean, I have no idea how old you are or what your knowledge of Celtics history is, but Kevin McHale is a Hall of Famer and also a six man of the year

I think he’s a great fit with JT and pretty much anyone else in the roster, but you can’t be serious when you post a graphic comparing stats of 280 min vs 2,250 min ….

I 100% agree with this. He needs to play starters minutes. In fact, I predict he will lead the team in total minutes over the season and at least be in the top three in minutes per game and he will also absolutely close out games but the best role for him is to come off the bench.

Avdija is easily the best blazer imo

He’s the best offensive player. Not player.

Could anyone have imagined a couple years ago that P.P. would be the top player in the NBA in terms of effective field goal percentage on iso possessions? ….

Some of my friends think he’ll make a leap to Jalen Brunson level, and I don’t know that I agree with that, but I think it is totally realistic to think with his increased usage this year he can definitely be in All-Star or the very least All-Star consideration

If PP gets higher usage and more attention, I think he will start getting called for push offs. It seemed like he started doing a lot more push offs last season, and some of them were even more egregious than JB.
