After the Celtics won the championship last season, many fans worried that they would not be able to keep the full team in the offseason, because there are many teams in NBA history who won the championship and then disbanded the team's championship team in the summer due to salary increases. But Stevens is a very smart general manager, and in the offseason he opted to re-sign White to a lower contract, so the new season allowed the Celtics to retain their championship roster from last season.

At this stage, many people may think that renewing White's contract is earned, but in fact, another contract extension is even more profitable for the Celtics, that is, Pritchard's contract extension. Pritchard signed a four-year, $30 million contract extension with the Celtics last year. At the moment, this is the best value extension for the Celtics right now, as Pritchard has already put up star-level numbers this season.

Pritchard is earning just over $7 million a year this season, but he is averaging 16.5 points per game this season. He averaged 43.2 percent three-point shooting per game. He has made 96 three-pointers this season, second in the league behind Edwards. He averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game. It can be said that Pritchard has become a very strong attack point in the Celtics' second team, and he is also expected to challenge for the Sixth Man of the Year award this season.

Pritchard didn't make a name for himself in the first two years of entering the league, and his performance was relatively average. This season, on the other hand, he has improved by leaps and bounds. His scoring average has risen by seven points per game, compared to 9.6 points per game last season. Pritchard doesn't have much height at the back and his physical gifts are very average. But Pritchard is a very hard worker. Before entering the league, many fans had already experienced how hard Pritchard was through the video. So Pritchard focused on his three-point shooting in the offseason, so much so that his improvement in three-point shooting after the start of the new season is visible to the naked eye.

Pritchard's outstanding performance this season is also due to his excellent performance from beyond the three-point line, and when you look at his stats, you will see that his three-point improvement is huge. Not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of hit rate, there has been a leap forward in hit rate. Pritchard has slowly mastered his personal skill for survival in the league, which is to focus on shooting three-pointers, especially those that are more long-range. He began to slowly move towards Curry's style of play. He knew that increasing the percentage of three-pointers and expanding the range of three-pointers could be the best way to adapt to the league.
