... the team can find ways around it. They have Tobias and Vucevic, Oladipo can score in a bunch of ways, and they just brought in a guy who theoretically can drain 3s. Payton just needs to penetrate and find the open man, which he does beautifully already... and he's still young.

I'd take Payton as my PG of the future in a second.

Orlando's current problem is that they don't have a star. They're banking on Tobias or Gordon (or, to a lesser extent, Mario), and those just don't seem like the best bets for franchise star players. I'd insert a comment about Justise here, but I'll let that slide. They need a guy to become The Guy on offense. Payton is 100% the perfect and ideal compliment to a The Guy,
