[Highlight] 6’1” Payton Pritchard hits a fadeaway over 6’10” Jericho Sims (with replay)
Where does PP rank if he was 6 inches taller?
League couldn’t handle 6 more inches of PP.
I’m not saying he’d be Kobe level, but if he had 6 more inches he’d be hard to stop.
Yeah, if my PP had 6 more inches I’d be hard to stop too…
8 inches would be a lot to work with
Look at this guy with a solid deuce
Thats kawhi leonard
Imagine michael jordan if he was from the hood
Top 5
6’6 Pritchard is taking the White Mamba mantle off of Scal. Except they’d use it unironically for him.
There are few players in the NBA that have improved at a single skillset from the beginning of their career to the present as Payton Pritchard and paint scoring.
As a small guard his first few years in the league he was terrible in the paint. Countless times he would get a step on the defense get straight to the rim then circle back out of the paint because he couldn’t get his shot off.
Now Pritchard is one of the best guards at finshing In the paint in the league. He uses his body and strength so well. He knows how to use his shoulder to bump players to create space and he is always playing off 2 feet. It went from being such a deficiency in his game, to his greatest asset. Really has been an incredible transformation.
There’s gotta be more than a few because we’ve got 3 on this team lol.
Tatum, Brown and Pritchard have improved in some way almost every single year.
You could maybe look at Brown’s 2018-19 season as an exception, but that’s because he spent most of the season dealing with injures (and Kyrie).
Pritchard’s 2022-23 season would maybe be the other example, but it’s hard to judge him harshly on that year because he got caught behind a Smart / White / Brogdon backcourt, so we didn’t actually see much of him.
Sims looks so defeated
I mean he had 3 points and 3 fouls in the first quarter then got benched until garbage time
M.I.P.P
His ball control is so good
Cant be called PP if you cant control your ball
I swear he purposely does this against big men, I almost never see him do this move against smaller guards. A big gets switched onto him and he just sees red
Is that not a travel when lifts his left foot up after pump faking?
I believe it’s fine as long as he doesn’t put it down again.
Watching the reply it looks like he does put it down again. He lifts it up to go into Sims in order to draw contact. Puts it down, then lifts it up again. He does a double tap motion.
He does a jump stomp and lands on both feet. You can then pick your pivot leg. He chose his right foot as the pivot, in the paint. Only the other foot is moving
That’s the same move Shai gets clowned for every game and it’s not even mentioned in the comments
Shai isn’t 6’1” and he isn’t doing it to big men.
Shai’s balls clean, you can stop licking.
He’s the opposite of clean, he gets more shit on this sub than any other player. There’s literally not a player in the league your comment applies less to
