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.

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.

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

Payton will have a nice career as a defensive specialist back-up.

I'm telling yall Orlando is going to be dangerous in a few years. We have a great young GM and Jacque Vaughn is a very underrated coach. Can't wait to watch all these young players this year. Eat shite Dwight.
