New York Knicks point-guard Elfrid Payton had a solid regular-season debut on the San Antonio Spurs home court while coming off the bench. Payton scored 11-points and delivered 8-assists along with 5-steals. The former Louisiana Ragin’ Cajun showed why he was one of the top defensive players during his time in the NCAA as a junior during the 2013-14 collegiate season. Elfrid Payton was the main reason the Knicks were leading the league in total steals after Wednesday’s season opener. The Knick guard is quickly solidifying himself as the starting point guard.
How real is the Elfrid Payton effect?
