Backup Boston Celtics combo guard Payton Pritchard has become one of the NBA’s elite 3-point shooters this season. So far, his offensive transformation as a nearly limitless threat from beyond the arc has transformed the the University of Oregon alum into not only the leading 2025 Sixth Man of the Year candidate, but a realistic option to win the league’s 2025 Most Improved Player award as well.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about Fast PP’s 3-point evolution.
