Payne is the worst in 7 games at 22 mins a game that could ever be. As a completely objective observer his stats have just been awful. I am really disappointed in him. Although he is averaging 6 rebounds in 22 mins, which we all know is a meaningless stat after having Love here and losing all those games.

Payne is awful - He is shooting 30% and average less then a block of 36 minutes a game.

As an example. Jeff Adrian basically has been fighting to be in the league and always averaged a double double on the 36 minutes basis.

Sample size, sample size, sample size. Do you realize if he makes his next 10 shots he will be shooting over 40%?

only 8 straight more toe go.

LOL...I thought cool was just being mathematical, but it turns out he may be prescient!

Hmm...wasn't he also the guy who guaranteed the first pick this year?

Isn't low 40% still crappy for a big guy?

Yes, if there isn't a healthy dose of three's included in there.

Meh. I'd just get super close to Pek. He misses most often from there.

Zzzzzing!! Ouch. Time the fight and let it get under a minute left on the clock. He'll whiff almost every time.

If it's any solace, go look at Draymond Green's rookie year numbers.
