The Phoenix Suns moved on from Cameron Payne after many years of solid point guard play surely expecting him to continue a long career elsewhere. Just two years later, however, his career is falling apart around him.
Cam Payne entered the NBA in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Murray State, preceding another Murray State guard in Ja Morant by a few years. He was drafted 14th by the Oklahoma City Thunder, one pick after the Phoenix Suns drafted some Kentucky guard named Devin Booker.
The 6'3" point guard has proceeded to carve out a long NBA career settling into a very specific niche: backup point guard.
