Grady saw his production steadily rise at Capital City last season, especially as the year progressed. While the team experienced ups and downs in the win-loss column, he began to fully embrace a primary scoring role. This summer, Payton took another leap forward, showcasing a more dynamic offensive game — hitting shots from the perimeter, crashing the offensive glass, and finishing around the rim with creativity and flash. His length also made him an impact defender, altering shots and protecting the rim with good instincts. As he enters his senior season, Grady will be counted on to be an elite-level producer for Capital City. He’ll need to consistently hunt his offense, scoring from all three levels, while also becoming a smart playmaker with the ball in his hands. His ability to both create for himself and generate opportunities for teammates will be key to his team’s success this winter.

The versatile 6’8 forward continues to improve and has become one of the top young players in Mid Missouri. He stretches the defense with his 3-point stroke and he can attack the basket and throw down a dunk. His rim protection is also very good. He is averaging 17 points, eight rebounds and nearly four blocks per game.
