LAS VEGAS — Waldron junior guard Payton Brown has a reputation as an outstanding shooter, but he continues to show he’s a not one-dimensional player.
Brown, 6-3, 185 pounds, averaged 31.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists as a sophmore and was named the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Division II Newcomer of the Year.
He continued his scoring ways to help the 16-under Woodz Elite win the Peach Jam Championship and this week’s FAB 48 Championship. In doing so, he showed his sneaky athleticism to drive to the basket.
“The last couple of tournaments, I started showing the coaches I can drive, too,” Brown said.
