Payton Pritchard of Celtics wins the Sixth Man of the Year of the NBA
Of Tim Reynolds ap Basketball Writer
Payton Pritchard left the bench and changed the Boston Celtics matches this season.
He was the only NBA player with more than 1,000 points in games that did not start. Set the league record for three points made by a backup. And the voters took note of all this and more, choosing the Celtics guard as the sixth man in the league of the year this season.
Pritchard beat Malik Beasley of Detroit and Ty Jerome de Cleveland for the prize. This is the fifth time a Celtics player won the prize: Kevin Mchale claimed it in 1984 and in 1985, Bill Walton in 1986 and Malcolm Brogdon won him in 2023.
“This is certainly an honor,” Pritchard said during the TNT broadcast on Tuesday night when the results were revealed.
And maybe properly, the prize is named after another legend of the Celtics: John Havlicek.
“Payton is a dancer, and his companions know what they are achieving every day in terms of effort, attention and commitment,” said Celtics President Brad Stevens in a statement published by the team. “To be honored with the prize named so for The Great John Havlicek is a credit to everything that brings to our team’s table.”
It is the first of this season’s NBA Awards to announce -with other people who spread in the coming weeks. The New York Jalen Brunson Award, Anthony Edwards of Minnesota or Nikola Jokic de Denver) will be announced on Wednesday night and the defensive player of the year (Dyson Daniels d’Atlanta, Draymond Green of Golden State or Cleveland’s Evan Furniture) will be announced on Thursday night.
The awards are voted on by a global group of 100 writers who cover the league.
Pritchard led all reserves in points (1,079 in parties in which he did not start), 3-Punteers (246, not including nine more than he did in his three games as a starter), along with Plus-Minus (+428). And among the non -participants, its total attendance of 257 took third place in the league only behind TJ McConnell de Indiana and Scoot Henderson in Portland.
Part of Pritchard’s role is clear: it provides help to the 1-2 punch of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and it has made it easy.
“It’s a learning curve that comes from college. It all went through me,” Pritchard said. “Then come here, I’m playing with many stars … So it’s certainly a feeling. I feel I am still getting better, but it’s just reading the game, knowing when maybe the defense has more information about JT and JB, and they are a bit open. Then you have to take these opportunities.”
Pritchard is the favorite of fanatics in Boston for a large number of reasons, such as their energy and charm, not to mention the will, to shoot 3s deep at the ends of the barracks and halves, even low percentage that in theory could harm their statistics. He also had one of the wildest triples-doubles (though technically not counted as one) in the history of the NBA on March 5, when he had 43 points, 10 rebounds and 10 points out of three, all off the bench.
The Celtics won many games independently; It was 61-21 this season. But when Pritchard was fantastic, they were even harder to overcome. Boston spent 17-6 this season when Pritchard left the bench and scored at least 20 points, 36-12 when he left the bench and scored at least 10 points.
“Payton is also a player, as everyone here sees,” said Jrue Holiday, Celtics guard. “Any opportunity that can put this ball in the basket, it does. But what makes it special is what it does in the defensive end: collecting anyone full, just being a dog, going to the one in front.”
Pritchard was the wins, reaching 82 of the possible 100 votes in the first place. Beasley (13 votes first) was second, Jerome (two votes from the first place) was third and his teammate of Cleveland, by Andre Hunter (also two votes from the first place) was fourth.
The Naz Reid of Minnesota, winner of last year, took the other first place and was fifth. His minnesota teammate, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, was sixth, Denver’s Russell Westbrook was seventh and Alex Caruso of Oklahoma City was eighth.
