Emma Payton Emma Payton 6'0" | SG Burlington Central | 2024 State IL did a nice job of attacking the basket and moving without the ball when I saw her compete this weekend. Payton is a nicely sized combo guard who uses it to her advantage any chance she gets throughout the duration of a game. In the moments where she got the ball in her hands on offense she did well on showing off her ability. She can put it on the floor, pull up from deep, or take it the rack and finish through contact for an AND1. Something that she did a number of times this weekend. In AAU it’s obviously more of a challenge, in all aspects, when competing because of the heightened competition level but Payton does a good job of coming in, accepting her roll and doing her job for her squad. Something that isn’t always easy to adapt to when you are used to the ball in your hands every possession of the high school level. Moving forward I like Payton’s ceiling and she will be a player I keep an eye on. She has all the ability and physical gifts to continue to thrive at the high school-varsity level, with the chance of it carrying her into a nice college career somewhere, when it’s all said and done.
