Still think people need to get on the Elfrid Payton bandwagon. Think he has the most potential of any of the (currently projected) late 1st/early 2nd round picks.
We had dudes on here in love w/ Schroeder. Payton is that kind of PG, but taller and longer. Is a junior, but is the age of an average sophomore.
Could be the next Jazz product from Louisiana.

Watched the scouting video on Warren, not really impressed. Not that athletic, not a defender, not a shooter, not a rebounder, doesn't have great length.

Please tell me that Payton's 3pt% isn't accurate. That's the first thing I looked for.
Schroeder's was much better and he shot more per game then Payton. Very different.

So since one is just a pretty bad 3pt shooter and the other is a really bad 3pt shooter makes them "very different"?
Both are known as defensive players 1st.
Both known as players who thrive in transition.
Both are long and skinny.
Both get to the FT line and can make plays for others.
Not saying they are exactly the same, but I think "very different" is a false statement.

I never said they were "very different" players just that their shooting was very different.
PS, have you made the game thread yet?

Payton making some nice passes to Marcus Smart. Already got the chemistry going between our draft picks.

You literally just said "Very different" as its own sentence. Pretty vague that you were just referencing their 3pt shooting. There isn't much difference between 25% shooting and whatever #'s Schroeder put up in Europe (if I recall correctly, he had some really good % in some tourneys and really bad ones in others). Schroeder has yet to show any 3pt ability in the NBA (20%) and little in the D-League (29%).
Payton is the man on his team. Defenses focus on him and he has the ball to score. Schroeder was a good player on his teams in Europe, but it wasn't like he was a star on his team.
