About an hour ago, we brought you the news that Terrence Jones had been waived by the Bucks. Well, the team wasted no time in filling that open roster spot, as Charles Gardner reports that they will be signing Gary Payton II out of the D-League. Payton II is the son of Gary Payton, who played for the Bucks in 2003 after being acquired in a trade. You know the trade.
The 24-year-old Payton played his first two collegiate seasons at Salt Lake Community College, before signing a letter of intent to play at Oregon State for his final two seasons.
