Teammate. He did this well last year also, but he’s by far the most supportive guy on the team. He’s a guy who you just love to see succeed. If I were coaching youth basketball, id use him as an example.
One of my favorite parts of the night was when Yoeli cramped up the first time, he was being helped off the court. Payton went over and subbed one of the guys carrying him out so he could be the one to help. Part of it was probably because Payton was closer to Yoeli’s size, but you can tell that he loves his teammates and wants to help any way he can. Great job by him.
