I loved this pick from the get-go.
They think he can be a more athletic Rondo.

Who is "they"? I don't believe that anyone who watches basketball said that.

Where did you read that? Rondo tried to bet Chris Johnson $2000 to race him in the 40!

Damian Lillard came from Weber State. Stephen Curry came from Davidson.

What a dumb point.

I wasn't sold on Payton before the draft, but he looked pretty good in Orlando. He's a little raw but he's very quick and a good on-ball defender. The Payton-Oladipo backcourt is pretty damn athletic.

Straight line speed matters in football. Not so much as a point unless you're on the fast break. He's got incredible feet and a crossover.

Anyway, just trying to relay that a Marrero and LA guy won best player in the summer league for my team.

Did he actually win it, or is it just the writers opinion and list?

That said, kid is a stud. I said he would be the best true PG from this draft before the draft and was very impressive in the summer league.

And 480, Payton has been compared to Rondo for a while. I've seen some analysts say he's a blend of Westbrook and Rondo. Similar size and length of Westbrook, plays more like Rondo.

I think he ends up being a top 5 player from this draft when it's all said and done.

Got more impressed watching him more leading up to the draft. Hope he has a good career.

I actually really am liking him after what I've read so far on his summer performance. Hope he can have a great 2nd year for my stones
