Payton might be better right now, but I really don't see him being good enough where it should block Frank's development especially in our situation. Frank could easily end up the better player especially if he can keep up his play in the tournament.
Payton is not a good defender and provides no spacing so see him as a liability a lot of times. But Perry likes him and maybe he's Fiz's type of player so will probably get a lot of time.
they should have never got payton, but they did. they're not gonna just bench him now.
Payton, Bullock, Ellington...probably didnt need all 4 of Morris, Taj, Randle, Portis too. There will def be some unhappy players.
