Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is in contention for the Sixth Man of the Year award, feeling he has positioned himself well for it. Despite this, he remains focused on the team's success in the playoffs rather than on personal accolades. He averages a career-high 14.1 points and has become a valuable bench player, emphasizing that any individual recognition would only be a stepping stone in his career. Pritchard's transformation from a player seeking more minutes to a fan-favorite showcases his growth and dedication to the game.
I feel like I put myself in the best situation possible to win it, so I'm proud of that.
At the end of the day, if I get voted for it, it's an unbelievable award and it would be a great honor.
There's no need for that. If I get that, it's not going to stop my journey.
It would just be another stepping stone, but at the end of the day I'm looking to keep growing.
