2744949, the line between what "looks like an NBA player" and doesn't is pretty...

thin.

Cam Payne of the Suns went from a 1st round pick to being cut to 10-day contracts to being out of the league, to playing in China, to the G-League, to the Phoenix Suns even starting a few games when Chris Paul was out and earning a 3/yr-$19mil contract.

Several players bounce around a similar timeline its all about getting the right opportunity so its comical for folks to say definitively that someone is or isn't a NBA player when actual NBA coaches, GM's and scouts don't see it that way.

Especially now with players coming out so young for some it takes time to mature and develop.
