Sharpshooting quick PG Trae Payton Trae Payton 5'10" | PG New Hope Academy National | 2028 State MD has made a case for the ’28 rankings following his play this summer/preseason. Strong ability to shoot from deep range and will fire off at every open opportunity. Trae gives lots of effort on both ends of the floor and gets into the middle of a lot of plays during the game. I like Trae’s skill running the point or playing off the wing. He makes good decisions whether to pass or shoot and knows when it’s his time to attack. Confident young guard that plays with a level of fearlessness.

-Young floor general has the ball on a string and had several noticeable scoring outbursts throughout the weekend that should gain him some attention this upcoming season. He can create for himself off the bounce from 18′ and in, showcasing a smooth and fluid pull-up that he can get off against taller opponents because of how quickly he can go from dribble pick-up to release point. Liked his feel as a driving playmaker that sees and executes passing reads through tight windows in the paint to give his team high-percentage looks.
