Cameron Payne has been everything the Suns needed in Orlando

Where he’s supposed to be.

It was a bit of a corny line from Cameron Payne at face value, but how could you not take him seriously? Payne said it after leading the Suns to a 21-0 run at the end of the third quarter that squashed the Pacers’ hopes of a comeback and gave the Suns’ their fourth straight win in Orlando.

After arriving in Florida with hardly any familiarity with his new team and a whole lot to prove, Payne has answered the call. The former 15th overall pick has already had a humbling experience as a pro, arriving in Oklahoma City as the star of mid-major Murray State before plummeting down to Earth and having to play overseas just to get back to the league.
