Overview
- The feature, published Monday, described Pritchard’s summer program on Cape Cod where he runs about 150 one-on-one possessions per session against paid Division II/III, international and local defenders.
- He chooses humid, non–air-conditioned high school gyms to add physical strain and realism so each rep better simulates in-game reads and on-ball pressure.
- Pritchard pays travel costs for recruited defenders, rotates them to keep himself unbroken, and uses a Chipotle bet that makes defenders eat if he shoots under 60 percent that day.
- The regimen is tied to measurable gains: Pritchard led the league in effective field goal percentage on isolation plays (58.6 percent) last season and posted 2025–26 career highs after winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2025.
- Reports earlier in October said Boston locked him into a roughly $44 million extension, and the recent coverage frames these workouts as the practical preparation behind his expected expanded on-court role.
