SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: CREATIVE PLAYMAKER
Cameron Payne: swift, lefty PG w/ nice playmaking ability – makes the right read more often than not; very cunning – prefers to play fast, helps spread the wealth in unit #2; finds minuscule angles in the lane to take a floater, in-between J or drop off to a ‘hands-up’ big – likes hesitation dribbles before deciding where to attack; streaky outside shooter, can get hot – next step is developing more consistency coming off screens; needs to continue adding strength (can struggle finishing amongst the trees) to unlock more parts of his game; has emerged as a steady, second unit point - traded to Knicks (2024): Cam’s a nice alternative for Coach Thibs at the 1
