Point guard Payton Pritchard is everything that the Boston Celtics need this season. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, who took some time on a recent episode of their show to highlight the import of the former Sixth Man of the Year to Boston's offense in the 2026-27 NBA regular season that is soon to arrive. With star forward Jaylen Brown having been dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers for a veteran Paul George who will likely miss his fair share of games, much of the scoring load previously carried by the Georgia native will fall on the shoulders of Pritchard. And LaFrance and Simone break down why they believe that the University of Oregon alum is more than ready to take it on. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about why they believe Fast PP is set to take another lap with Boston.
