Since there hasn't been a thread started for him yet, figured I'd do it. Solid pick-up along with a second by Morey for Bev. Will provide more shooting.

We’ve been in Pain for some time now so it’s nice to put a face to the name.

After losing Bev, is this the least enthusiastic pick up in sixers history? Lol

We have a Hurts on one team and a Payne on another. How fitting.

He can, um, dribble.

He can dribble, he can pass, and he can shoot. Something no one else on our team besides Maxey can do lol.

Yeah I don't mind him at all. I wanted him back in the late offseason when Phoenix axed him. He Lou Will lite...Even kind of looks like him. Payne is a much better scorer than Patrick Beverley. I hate to see Beverley go, but Payne is an upgrade on the offensive end. He can hit threes and he can get to the foul line. I expect him to get some decent minutes here. He's hitting threes at almost 40%. Between adding him and Hield we've improved our three point shooting by a lot. The guy played about 20 MPG on some pretty good Phoenix Suns teams for a few years. I don't think this is a bad addition at all. He's got a lot of experience and he's a smart basketball player. Obviously his defense could be better, but that's not why we added him.
