Scoring & Shot Profile
Payton is a lethal perimeter shooter at 50.0% from three — defenses can't leave him open. This gravity opens driving lanes for teammates and forces closeouts that create advantage. The 33.3% field goal clip is concerning — either the shot diet is too difficult, or finishing/touch needs work. This inefficiency costs the offense roughly 1-1 points of production per game.
Defensive Scouting Report
Defensive effort and ability are below average for a wing (DRS 31). Gets caught on screens, struggles in isolation against quicker guards, and provides minimal weak-side help. Improving lateral quickness and defensive effort would have an outsized impact on his overall value.
