Pondering Payton Pritchard’s prospects: Possible promotion? Potential payday pending?

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports Payton Pritchard and Jayson Tatum had a massive positive impact together in 2021-22, but that fell apart last year. How can they get back to what made them great together? It’s probably been a whirlwind 2023 for Payton Pritchard.
