Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard scores 50 in Rose City Pro-Am
The NBA offseason may be the summer doldrums to fans and analysts of the league both, but for some players, it is high time to show off their scoring skills in offseason tourneys and runs. Among the most infamous in this regard is Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard, who has become such a prolific scorer in such summer events that he has picked up the sobriquet "Pro-Am P" for his frequent setting of scoring records in such events.
Fresh on the heels of breaking his own scoring record of 61 points at the "Ball Don't Stop" Pro-Am with a 68-point outburst, Pritchard continued with his offseason scoring assault anew at the Rose City Pro-Am, where the University of Oregon alum put up an impressive 50 burger.
It can be harder to find footage of Fast PP on the court doing his thing in such contexts, so the folks behind the "Home Team Hoops" YouTube channel put together a clip of his highlights from that half-centennial scoring night. Check it out below!
