I didn't mean it like that, Payne looks to be the better player at the moment. Why would he trade for the worse player atm in Russell. You probably still think Russell is better than Booker.Who gives a shyt what their promise was?
That's like saying Payne is better than Towns because Thunder promised Payne with their struggle draft pick.
Until Payne averages more than 6 ppg, holla at me. I already ran out the Mudiay fan boys, I don't want to run out the only 2 Payne fans in the world. CC @Loose
I don't think Payne will ever reach Towns or Zingis as players.
The 1st time he ever got "real" minutes he played well and continued to impress.
Russell hasn't had a stretch of 10 games this good all season, Payne's game tonight only makes these stats better.
Leads all Rookies in BPM and WS/48, we'll see how things pan out over the season.
