With an absolutely brutal start to their 2020-21 NBA season and no Kemba Walker until January — at best — the Boston Celtics are going to need additional sources of scoring, and there is hope at least some of it can come from rookie floor general Payton Pritchard.
The former four-year Oregon Ducks star has a knack for putting the ball in the hoop — particularly from beyond the arc — so it should probably not surprise that the fastidious point guard has long had a practice routine for his shooting built into his daily approach to the game.
While still at Oregon, the West Linn native got together with local reporter Kylie Gelfland to give the journalist some shooting tips using his own approach to the skill.
Watch the video embedded above to see the new Celtic floor general give a lesson on how to shoot the rock; we’re less than a week away from seeing him do the deed in an exhibition game on Dec. 15.
