Payne, out of Tabor Academy in Massachusetts, checks in at #19 among the small forwards and #78 overall. Payne is a big time athlete that can do a little bit of everything on the offensive end of the floor. He’s really good in transition, where his combination of athleticism, size, and power allow him to be an effective finisher at the rim. He makes shots in catch and shoot situations and is a tough slasher in the paint. On the other end, he rebounds it above the rim and makes a lot of plays in passing lanes with his plus instincts. He should be a priority recruit at the Division III level, but has a chance to end up playing for a scholarship.
