The "Glove', Payton enters the 2050 Rookie pool as an absolute defensive assassin, fresh off leading the NCAA in steals, while averaging 3.4/game! He was Mr. Everything for the Beavers this season, averaging nearly 30 pts a contest, running the offense, locking down opposing guards, filling the water cups, handing out towels, etc. Because of that strain, his TOs were sky-high... but it's not expected to be a long-term character trait once he is playing with more talented teammates. The most worrisome long-term trait for scouts is his dreadful FT shooting, where he has never topped 70% in 4 seasons in Corvallis. His 3pt accuracy is surprisingly average... but those FTs are a real bad spot. He's a very, very good rebounder for his position, but not other-worldly.
