All issues thought-about, Payton Pritchard is having a fairly good begin to his summer time. After dropping his spot within the Boston Celtics rotation following the arrival of Malcolm Brogdon, Pritchard has an opportunity to regain some minutes subsequent season, courtesy of the Marcus Good commerce to accumulate Kristaps Porzingis.

Pritchard wanting a commerce was by no means about not being pleased with the Celtics. The younger guard’s motivations have been strictly basketball-based; he’s a hooper, and hoopers need to hoop. Pritchard has another excuse to be celebrating, although, and it’s not as a result of yesterday was the 4th of July. Effectively, perhaps he celebrated that too, however that’s neither right here nor there.

On July 3, Pritchard took to Instagram to disclose his engagement to girlfriend Emma MacDonald.

The couple have been courting for six months and the proposal seems to have taken place in Cape Cod. Pritchard and MacDonald might be seen of their Instagram images trying extraordinarily glad collectively and can now possible start wedding ceremony planning.

Pritchard goes to have his work reduce out each on and off the courtroom.

With a full offseason to arrange, Pritchard will possible be engaged on new facets of his recreation, ones that translate to the type of basketball Joe Mazzulla and his teaching employees need to play subsequent season. Underneath Ime Udoka, Pritchard improved his screening and chopping, making him a viable choice at both guard place, regardless of his perceived lack of dimension.

Coming into the league as a sharpshooter, Pritchard already possesses Mazzulla’s most desired ability, and with a extra constant position trying more and more possible, the Oregon native shouldn’t have any downside discovering consistency along with his perimeter shot once more.

Every thing seems to be arising roses for Pritchard proper now; all we are able to do is hope his luck interprets to the courtroom and rubs off on his teammates as they attempt to put their Jap Convention Finals failure behind them heading into the brand new season.
