Does he have an outside game?

Most of their games are played indoors.

Yes. He has a decent 3 shot from my limited observations

Behind the bench again tonight.

I love this. Keeping a local, highly touted, early committed recruit engaged with the program.

I was thinking last night that the guys that will still be around (given we don't have any transfer out) when Chris is on the team are; Eljiah, Christian, Matt Chastain, Luke, Hein, Ike, Madison, and Taylor. Of course, Rey and Demontay Dixon. We gotta recruit some GUARDS!

Bloomington plays Joliet West tomorrow at 2:30 in the Pontiac Holiday Tournament. Chris Payton is currently averaging 22.8 points and 11.2 rebounds.

He's a junior. :D

@joehoopsreport: Nothing earth-shattering here because he’s a top 5 prospect in the state in Class of 2019 and production has matched the potential thus far in career, but boy do the ISU Redbirds have a terrific recruit locked up in Bloomington’s Chris Payton.

Payton had 3 opportunities in the final minute to sink the winning shot. 2 rimmed out and he got a steal tip attempt at the buzzer. HCDM was in attendance.

I wonder how much influence he might receive in the next 10 months (before he can sign a NLI).

This worries me as well

Not worried about this at all . . . so long as Dan’s here.

So someone just needs to plant the seed that Dan won't be here for the next 4-5 years. 🙄🙄
