The Trail Blazers signed Gary Payton II last week to a training camp deal. The Blazers have 15 players with guaranteed contracts on their roster already, so it’s very unlikely that Payton plays his way into a deal in camp.

However, the Blazers do have both two-way contract spots available, and there’s a chance Payton could win one of those if he plays well in training camp and preseason. Here’s a quick look at some of his numbers from college and the G-League, and why they support his being a player who could earn NBA minutes.
