The Sixth Man Revolution: Meet the Two Bench Players Redefining NBA Stardom Overnight
Payton Pritchard, Boston Celtics
For how great Beasley has been this year, he isnât even the favorite to land the 6MOY Award. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, that honor currently belongs to Payton Pritchard.
Do you remember how we were saying Beasley is one of two âbenchâ players to ever shoot at least 500 3s in a season while shooting at least 40% on those attempts? The other guy is Pritchard, who is hitting 41.8% of his 3-point shots.
Pritchardâs 2024-25 is âonlyâ seventh in terms of highest single-season 3-point total from a bench player (231). However, if Pritchard keeps his current pace up (3.3 made 3s per game) for the Celticsâ last 11 games of the season, he will have the second-most 3s made in a single season by a bench player, behind only Beasley.
