PHILADELPHIA -- — Payton Pritchard hit six of Boston’s 24 3-pointers and scored 32 points...

Payton Pritchard 2025/26 (Beans, only team he has played for): 17, 3.9, 5.2 ppg, 46.4%.

Payton Pritchard: 6'1", 2020-26th pick, Beans.

Precious Achiuwa 2025/26 (Sacramento, his 4th team): 10.1 (career high), 6.7, 1.4 ppg, 52.8%. 

Precious Achiuwa: 6'8", 2020-20th pick, Miami.

Pat Riley historically preferred veteran players to drafted rookies. Hell, he prefers the G League as a pipeline! Riley recently has seemed to place more value on draft picks than loose change, but I surmise that decades of neglect has withered the org.'s collegiate talent-spotting.
