Ignore his worst category (blocks) and he's worth 0.71.
Our favorite kind of pick just got another tailwind — Jaylen Brown's exit hands Boston's backcourt real extra minutes, on top of the starter's role Pritchard already won outright. We list 16.4 with 2.8 elite-percentage threes and a near-.87 line across 71 games; the role argues for the high end. League-winning triples and FT% from a durable guard — lock it.
Payton Pritchard enters 2026-27 at #70 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 31.4 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and turnovers, with blocks the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-blocks builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 71 games.
