What happened: Payton Pritchard's ballhandling remains a focal point during the NBA offseason.
Why it matters: Ball security is central to creating shots while limiting empty possessions.
By the numbers: Pritchard averaged 17.0 points, 5.2 assists and 1.5 turnovers across 79 regular-season games in 2025-26, a 3.5 assist-to-turnover ratio.
What to watch: Training camp will offer the next measure of how that control carries into the 2026-27 season.
