Expert Analysis
Jim Dabbelt | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Payton scored at a pace of 23 points per game this. year, and she was a solid consistent offensive threat from anywhere on the floor. Efficient guard with handles, takes command of the game and is able to distribute the ball with great court vision. She is just a winner with a winner’s mentality. Excited to see her at the next level continue to grow her game.

I have seen her enough times to know that at any time, she can take a game over. The Rio Grande commit does whatever it takes for her team to succeed. She is a scorer and a facilitator with the ball. Plays under control and can beat you in a variety of ways. She can read the passing lanes well, forcing mistakes. Three level scorer, Payton is next-level ready.

She is back for one more amazing season as the senior put up some gaudy numbers last season. Payton scored at a clip of 24 points and 9 rebounds per.game. Such a physically strong kid, she gets to the line on a regular basis, and can shoot over 70%. Eleven times she went to the free throw line double digit times and draws the opponents tough inside defender. Also averaged 4 steals per game last season. Committed to Rio Grande.

I have seen her in the summer with the Dayton Metro, and she impressed me probably the most she ever has last week. Really a dominant offensive player with handles and deep shooting range behind the arc. Payton (feature photo above) can push the tempo and can just score quickly. Her midrange is solid and she showed a high basketball IQ the way she plays the game.

She was really impressive with her skillset at this event. I really like the way she controls the game, can push tempo and runs the floor. Good handles, able to see the floor well and create. Can play through contact and finishes well. One of the better players on the day. (feature photo above)
