OKC assure Cameron Payne of drafting him if available

[UK2K]

Payne has been my #1 choice for the Rockets at #18 since.... the order was set in stone.

Watching this guy's court vision and passing ability literally makes my dick hard.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Since Durant, OKC rarely screws up with their 1st round draft picks so I would probably give them my blind faith.

What is the benefit in announcing picks early tho? Doesn't it give your oppisition something else to consider? And or highlight potential they may have overlooked?

Exactly what I thought. Especially with a team like the Thunder with a track record of good picks.

These players are news to us casual fans, you bet they have been on the radar of any respectable NBA scout. Teams follow their own picks to fix their weaknesses first then consider other matters, Suns don't need another PG, actually I don't see any team up to five picks above who are in dire need of one. Besides, this is a deep draft and there are many other good players for teams with higher picks or even OKC to choose from, I can see the Thunder doing equally well by drafting a good SG or SF.

Went and watched his draft express interview and some of his workouts...

He is going to develop into a monster behind Westbrook, looks like a future star PG.

[buddha]

He is not tall but has +7" on his wingspan

this nikka said a 7 inch wingspan and not one of you jackasses corrected him..

His WS is seven inches longer than his height?
Height: 6' 0.75"
WS: 6' 7.25"

Who knows why, maybe they're bluffing. The kid seems to have potential though. Good thing their targeting for an actual pg that is willing to pass for a change

Really happy with this pick, he's going to be a great addition.

Booker

But yeah....Payne's a talented PG...and a good long term backup for Russ.

I still think getting a 3 & D guy this summer is a priority

Yep, a shooting guard and a serviceable backup are necessary as the conference keeps getting deeper.
