Out in the Bubble, each team was given an extra session of shooting time in the gym late at night in addition to their usual practice times. Having just been signed by the Suns on the final day of June and thrust into a fairly big role, Cameron Payne returned to the gym nearly every night. Not to shoot with teammates, but to run plays with his coaching staff.
It paid off, as Payne was the breakout star of the team in Orlando and regained his footing in the NBA.
Once the team returned to Phoenix, lead assistant Willie Green broke down game film with Payne to help him dial into the offense on an even more granular level.
