Is it too early to say Pritchard is my favorite Celtic now? I think you can say it now, but be prepared to get more excited about Pritch as the season goes on. The kid is onoy getting started. I want to know how much longer before he starts?

I don't know, but when they took him out with 6 minutes left I was thinking, I wonder how long it will be before he finishes? And then he was on the floor again in the final minute. Kid is impressive.

Kid is impressive. You’re not the only one. Seems Pritch has already gained the trust of many Celtics fans. Sitting him late in games gives us anxiety.

From today's Boston Globe:
Before the game, Stevens was asked if Nesmith might get some minutes.
“He’s doing everything that he needs to do,” Stevens said. “He’s working really hard. He’s a guy that does not have the same level of experience as others but will catch up quickly because of his work ethic, his personality, who he is and everything else. The biggest key for him is just stay upbeat.”

Just because Pritch has broken through doesn’t mean every rookie will. Wonder why Celtics-nation is worried about Nesmith?

We expect it when we've been told he was the best shooter in the draft, who is super smart, who is a hard worker, and is here at a position of need, and when many other rookies around the league have come in and done well this year.
You can't possibly watch Nesmith and 8 Mile and come to the conclusion that Nesmith is the better shooter. So then you realize either you were misled or they were wrong and you wonder which it is.

I don't think we've seen nearly enough of either rookie to know who the better shooter is.

In a very small sample size, so far I'm more impressed with Pritchard than I am unimpressed with Nesmith, but yeah, it's way too soon to draw any hard conclusions.

I’m going to put my money on Pritch being the guy who will knock down more jumpers in various ways, but Nesmith having the higher percentage.

Well, PP came back down to earth a little tonight against DET. Didn't shoot well at all, but still played some tenacious D.
