Payton is a versatile scorer who can create offense at multiple levels. She is comfortable pulling up off the dribble from three-point range and has a smooth shooting stroke with a high release point that makes contests difficult. She also excels in the mid-range, elevating into pull-up jumpers over defenders. Defensively, Payton impacts the game as a shot blocker, protecting the paint and altering shots around the basket.

Scurry’s willingness to buy in and complementary 2-way skillset for SGS makes her one to watch in the showcase. Her all-purpose nature can’t be undervalued, especially considering how much she contributes to winning.

Scurry has so much potential, but sometimes the individual production is overshadowed by the winning traits. Payton understands how to contribute in unselfish ways across the board. Her efforts aren’t always highlighted in the stat-sheet, but they drive success.

Payton is a long guard/wing with some serious versatility in her game. She has range on her shot out to the three point line and she flashed some good ball handling skills. She’s a connective passer with good court awareness and did some good work on the boards. She is drawing interest from low D1’s and a bunch of D2 and D3 schools.

Payton made the trip down from Rhode Island and she acquitted herself quite well. Defensively she used her length and footwork to thwart ball handlers who were trying to penetrate. She had a couple of nice blocks and closed out strong on the perimeter. On offense I like her ability and willingness to facilitate and set up her teammates. She put up a quick 10 first half points.

Scurry and SGS completed the regular season with a convincing win over Middlesex. The ’27 forward was fantastic in this one scoring 19 pts and going 7-11 from the field. There were 9 reb plus 3 stl to go along with this. Payton is looking even more commanding lately; she truly can’t be slept on. Scurry will be a considerable piece as SGS takes on a battletested LA squad this Saturday.

Scurry has been an x-factor for SGS. Her production can’t just be measured by the numbers most of the time. Her impact goes far beyond what the stats say. She’s a great all-around defender, thrives in transition and has even improved on her touch. As the team prepares for a postseason push, it’ll be Payton that’ll have a chance to show the masses what she’s really made of.

Scurry was able to contribute a solid 15 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast in a win over BB&N. She isn’t a player that typically puts up high scoring numbers, rather a utility, gluelike player that can fit into a plethora of roles. She’s selfless, has great vision and uses her athletic tools not just be a trusted team defender, but also a special rebounder. The activity as well as her lively efforts can never be questioned Payton. She’ll be an x-factor to keep an eye on for SGS.

Payton has a very high ceiling and is a major asset on both sides of the ball. The potential is just oozing out of Scurry. Any given game, she’s likely to fill many boxes on the stat sheet. The budding star is a steal generator and gives driving playmakers a steady outlet with her stimulating jump shot. If defenders give her too much space, she’s likely to make them pay. Her innate ability to affect the game even if she doesn’t put up a bunch of points speaks to just how influential she really is.

Scurry is the #1 combo guard in the class. The functionality she provides within offenses serves her well and her adaptability makes her one of the best prospects in the entire class. She’s a 2-way star whose onslaughts can be absolutely devastating. Her skillset makes her easily insertable into a plethora of lineups depending on the gameplan. Payton will fill the need of whatever her team needs. She’s long and aggressive while being able to make the right reads. She knows when to stop short for the floater or when to use her length to get all the way to the basket. While defending perimeter players, she can engulf primary ballhandlers and scorers. As she matches up with other team’s better players, Scurry is intent on making their day difficult. There’re no easy baskets around her. Even if Payton seems beat, her recovery to get back in the play is remarkable. As she continues to add to her overall offensive game, she may very well be a top 5 contender in short time. She’s rapidly ascending and has all the potential to become a genuine star.
