The campaign for Cam Payne.
75 games. Less than 1000 minutes. Before we go any further, I want to highlight these numbers because THESE are probably the most influential and important numbers when discussing Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cameron Payne.
The Thunder’s first round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft was Cameron Payne at #14. It was an interesting selection, choosing the silky smooth left handed shooter from Murray State but when he was finally inserted into the rotation after Christmas, Payne let his game do the talking. He was effective and efficient and seems extremely comfortable playing a lead role off the bench, something that had been sorely missing since a fellow lefty James Harden left town.
