Payton Pritchard Struggles Early as Celtics Seek More Offensive Aggression

Payton Pritchard is off to a slow start for the Boston Celtics, averaging 13.4 points and 3.4 assists while shooting 40% from the field and 31% from three-point range. He is taking just 10.3 shots per game, well below his previous two seasons' averages. Outside of two games against the Chicago Bulls, Pritchard's production drops to 7.2 points on 7.8 shots per game. Boston needs Pritchard to be far more aggressive to serve as a primary offensive option behind Jayson Tatum.
