Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 Yes, I know it's only pre-season, but Payton Pritchard is off to a great start. For Celtics players who have participated in all four exhibition games (all wins), Pritchard l eads the team in both points (16.3 PPG), assists (7.0 APG), 3-point % (.489) and minutes (20.3 MPG). The 6'1" guard, now in his fifth season, also registers second to Neemias Queta in field goal percentage (.485). And Pritchard continues his care with the ball, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 7-to-1, turning the ball over only once for every seven assists. Payton Pritchard has been the second-best player of the preseason so far, per HoopsHype's Global Rating. pic.twitter.com/GEKAmysoUF — HoopsHype (@hoopshype) October 14, 2024 Payton Pritchard comes into his fifth NBA season looking like a star . Nobody works harder on the hardwood than this kid, and it has paid off - for him and his team. He looks ready to fight for that back-to-back Championship repeat. 

Luuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkke!      Sitting here watching tonight's preseason game and the way the C's are feeding Luke the rock. I expect him to have a huge impact this season. There will be no KP and Al doesn't play back to backs. This will be his opportunity to show he's a solid big. The man hustles and has a high basketball IQ. He knows where to be around the rim. Solid rebounder overall and adequate on offense. Defensively he positions himself well enough to not be a liability. I'm sure he will share minutes with Till who I also expect to have a heck of a year.        Just imagine how the 5 position is going to be a strength for these C's. With Luke and Till getting more run with the top Dawgs their skill sets will grow. Add to the mix Al being Al who is solid as a rock. Then eventually when KP gets back, the league better watch out. Sleeper for the C's bigs is Quetta, expect him to get some run and show what he's working with.       This Celtics team has
