00:00It's been a reign of terror for him this year, and he stood out on a team that has Jason Tatum

00:06Jalen Brown now Chris dabs for Zingis back Derek white and etc

00:10Peyton Pritchard has stood out in a big way this year. Yeah, and I think on a team where

00:16Expectations were so high it was gonna be hard for a lot of players to surpass expectations right or to surprise people

00:23He's one of the guys that absolutely had the opportunity to do that and has taken full advantage of his opportunities

00:30And you know he's no longer

00:32It just doesn't it fell for a while there. He was I don't want to say a gimmick mm-hmm, but he felt gimmicky

00:38Yeah, even last year the idea that in those half-court shots and stuff. Yeah, which by the way

00:43I don't think he's made one of those right they keep getting it to him, and he's just air ball

00:46And it's like all right. Well. We didn't expect him to keep making right, but the rest of his game like the actual

00:53Credible

00:55Replicable part of his game has been really good, and I think that's great for him

00:59I was actually just looking back at the six man of the year award winners over time uh-huh and

01:05It's funny. They're sort of a lot of Lou Williams a lot of Jamal Crawford right right and a genoble ease

01:11I don't know if a lot of genoble ease. I think just just the one genoble. Okay, no blee that I can see well

01:18I know Crawford and Williams want it like every Lou Williams was a

01:21Three-time winner at least but like you see a name like James Harden in

01:262011-12 with OKC mm-hmm obviously going way back

01:30You see like a Kevin McHale a Bill Walton some of those guys that are Hall of Fame Detlef Schrempf

01:36Who was a back-to-back winner for the Pacers?

01:39Okay is an interesting round was a sixth man on that team

01:42I guess so yeah, and that that's where I think Davis brothers, and yeah, it makes sense

01:46I wonder because then there's other names that like we're actually brothers

01:50That don't actually jump off the page, and I wonder if he wins it this year

01:55What are we gonna look back and think for Peyton Pritchett was it the breakout and like oh?

02:00Yeah, he was a six-man that year

02:02And then it evolves from there or is he kind of forever be a bench guy right is he gonna be a Crawford type of?

02:08Guy who had a long career and was considered a very good player, but there's no shame in it

02:11And I'm telling you he's gonna make money
