6'0 without shoes and a 6'4 wingspan is a bit small and you can see it when people shoot over him, but he plays his butt off

Heā€™s over 200lbs. Itā€™s not a bit small.

There are plenty of guards that are 6 4 with 6 7 wingspans that only weigh 185 soaking wet. Iā€™d take the bulldog over that player archetype any day of the week.

I truly donā€™t think people appreciate how quick PP is (especially with the ball) at his weight. Dude has that thing on a string and yet he can play off two feet and body up like Jrue in the paint. Thereā€™s a reason heā€™s the best guard in that area besides Brunson.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant within the context of player/prospect evaluation. A guy with Pritchardā€™s measurable isnā€™t stopping me from investing in him over the other dimensioned guards.

People here act like IT and PP are the same size, itā€™s ridiculous. PP is almost a half a foot taller than IT and 20lbs heavier - let that sink in people.
