This is what happens when you box score watch instead of watching the actual games.

After I make it abundantly clear that a lot of the narrative surrounding Prichard's 6MOY campaign has been his 3-pt shooting, do you then try to minimize the margin that Beasley has over him. You can downplay it all you want, Beasley has been more productive than him from behind the arc.

Not only that, but most importantly, he's been far more important to Detroit's offense than Pritchard has given the fact he's been counted upon to be their #2 option most nights after Ivey went down. Whereas Pritchard has typically been their #3/#4 option (even #5 when KP is playing), so he doesn't have the same offensive workload, defensive attention and pressure to produce.

If they swapped places, Beasley would be the runaway favorite for 6MOY. He's just been a victim of the team he's on, not getting the media attention.


Pritchard is a better passer, better rebounder, better free throw shooter, midrange shooter, finisher and is a better defender. All of that has nothing to do with the team they play on.

Only thing Beasley is leading Pritchard on is 3 pt FG% by 0.9% Pritchard literally ahead of him on every other statistical category despite being the 6th option that has played 95% of the games as the 6th option rather than the 2nd which is the whole point of the “6MOTY” award. They do have “All NBA” team awards for 2nd and 3rd options you know? Tell Malik to take his 43%fg 2.7 rbs and 1.8 ast to the Big boys and get an All NBA team award instead.
