I’m losing faith in Payton.
Been saying this since halfway the season;
He's super easy to defend.
- Defend his 3 so he has to drive
- If your help gets there, he'll pick up the ball in the paint and be stuck there
- He doesn't have a pullup jumper because too small
- If he goes for a layup, time your block because he's small
He so often gets stuck in the paint. And I've been betting he wasn't played for exactly that reason.
He had a hot stretch before teams figured him out.
