Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum recently had a lot of great things to say about Payton Pritchard/the team’s bench.
(via CLNS Media):
“Payton is super important. I think he’s having the best start of his career being so aggressive off the bench. A lot of times he changes the course of the game. If we have a lead, he extends it. Like in Milwaukee, he kept us in the game in that first half. That’s just so important, it shows how valuable everybody on our team is that we need everybody. There’s gonna be games where unfortunately we might not start the way we want to, and then we’ve got Sam [Hauser], Luke [Kornet], and Payton coming off the bench and they just change how we play. I think we’ve probably got the best bench in the league. We’ve got guys that would be starting on most other teams. I just hope Payton continues to play with the confidence that he has, because he makes us a better team.”
