Cameron Payne, the Thunder’s first round selection from the 2015 NBA Draft was on hand for a Thunder Youth Basketball Camp on Friday, barely able to contain his energy as he participated in some of the drills with the youngsters. Still rehabbing and recovering from a broken finger in his non-shooting hand didn’t seem to prevent Payne from getting his competitive juices going.
