I'm not crazy about Payne. It seems like when he's dominating guys, it's because he's got a good physique, but is an advantage that he won't carry to the NBA, where everyone is similarly built. To me he's more of the 'fit right in on a contending team' sort of player like Blair, but doesn't have as much upside as other guys in the same range. I'd take Harrell over Payne 10 times out of 10, as I think he's got much better upside, though Payne is the better win-now player, so I'm sure he'll get drafted as a late first and probably be a solid contributor right out of college.

I mentioned Payne back on Page 1. He's a senior who's improved steadily every year. He's stretched his range out (Amir like) and generally makes the Spartans machine click. They often struggle without him in the lineup.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

^ because Gary Harris is beyond over rated. I saw on a fast break he had two team mates in front and went in for the dunk to pad the stats. I hate that. Payne is 6 "10 so i mean he has the height, he can gain weight. His shot is a little wonky but it works and he has college 3pt range. Id be happy to take him in the 2nd. Still like aaron Craft in the second round as well.

Anyway I quite like Payne, seems rather polished offensively.

except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
