Payton Pritchard expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity to learn from veteran point guard Mike Conley, who recently joined the Boston Celtics. Conley will play a significant role, particularly as a mentor, while Pritchard has established himself as a key player on the roster. Pritchard averaged 17 points and 5.2 assists per game last season and hopes to further develop his point guard skills under Conley's guidance. As the Celtics adjust to offseason changes, including the trade of Jaylen Brown for Paul George, Pritchard is poised to take on a larger role alongside other teammates, including Jayson Tatum and Derrick White.
