- Utah Jazz – Cameron Payne, Murray State PG
Cameron Payne saw his draft stock skyrocket at the draft combine. Per multiple reports, multiple executives really like Payne’s IQ and character off the court. The Murray State point guard averaged 20.3 PPG and dished out 6 APG.
His height is something to worry about however. Payne only stands at 6’2 and weighs in at 187 per Draft Express. He’s going to need to bulk up in order to match up against points like Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard, and Steph Curry just to name a few. But he has potential to be a great point guard for teams looking to upgrade at the point guard spot.
