Cameron Payne
Just saw him play for Murray State in person against Tulsa. NBA scouts were crawling all over the place slobbering over him. How in the world did Pastner miss him out of high school near Memphis??

RE: Cameron Payne
In Pastner's defense, LOTS of high level programs missed if he is at Murray State.

Even if you are disenchanted with JP, tough to castigate him for not taking a guy that is in the OVC.

In this case, I'll just be thrilled for the kid showing out. Good on Payne!

He was on Team Penny so he wasn't an unknown. He just developed over a short period after everyone but Murray State passed on him.

Thanks.... He is the best player I saw at the Reynolds Center this year. They said he will probably be a late first/early second round pick ...only a sophomore.

Guys make the leap and it's great to see. I'm thrilled to see a Memphis guy do so well. Good, good stuff.

I know we can't help playing "what if he played for Pastner". I don't think he would have developed into what he is.

I disagree, I don't think Pastner would have made him better than he is now, even with Austin Nichols as an example.

RE: Cameron Payne
Does the Murray State coach need a better job....pay raise......better facilities. ......a chance to land the top recruits in the country as well as an extremely passionate fanbase? ??? What could he do with that??? There will be an opportunity soon!

Good players getting passed over happens all of the time. Some players have grade issues, some have personal issues, and some are just late bloomers.

RE: Cameron Payne
I wonder if Cam Payne has any sick relatives? I certainly hope they are all in good health but if he did what are the chances of him transferring closer to home? I'm sure this has been discussed before so apologies if I missed it.

Austin is already working out with Sarwar like he did immediately after last season when Memphis had no S&C coach for an extended period of time.

Cam Payne to the Thunder, per Woj. Lightly recruited to lottery pick playing with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. There's a journey.

Coach K and Roy Williams both passed on Stephen Curry. He ended up at Davidson.
