Tracking the Draft Stock of Louisiana's Elfrid Payton

[CajunEXPRESS]

The Pelicans do not have a first round draft pick.

and a second round pick either.

[ManAboutTown]

Just saw his list on espn: Has him at 8, one spot higher than McBuckets.

And to think many on this site refused to believe he was good enough....

I'll be your huckleberry. In my wildest imaginations, I could not see this (EP top 15 pick) happening. Still don't know how I feel about it, but I'm glad he's one of ours..

How much has Elfrid Payton helped his draft stock in recent weeks? I'm hearing that he has received an invite to the NBA Draft green room.

According to @AlexKennedyNBA Elfrid Payton has improved his stock dramatically and is getting invites to the Green Room. Kid is no joke.

Louisiana-Lafayette G Elfrid Payton, whose stock has skyrocketed, received an invite to the NBA Draft green room, league sources said.

Should the #Jazz look for Trey Burke’s backup? @ULRaginCajuns PG Elfrid Payton goes to Utah in the #CBSDraftMachine pic.twitter.com/IcFRVUHh2Z

There’s a reason Lakers are bringing back Elfrid Payton tomorrow. I hear he looked really good during first Laker workout.

How many players normally get invited to the "Green Room?"

This. The Lakers are down for now, but Hollywood and the Lakers are the place to get EP his best shot at fame, and fortune, and oh yea, good for UL. Would love for him to be a hall of fame player as a Laker. I know I am getting way to far out in front but I do not care.

How many lottery picks are there?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Fourteen I believe. I think every team not in the playoffs are in the lottery, and all their picks are considered lottery picks.

I couldn't care less if the Lakers stay down forever. That being said, if Payton is drafted by the Lakers then I retract that statement!

The Lakers have what the 5th pick in the draft? Would they be looking at him as their 2nd pick? I can't see him going THAT high (5th)

I think the Lakers pick 7th and Sacramento 8th.

I think the Lakers are trying to talk themselves into picking EP. The Lakers are going to pick the winner of today's workout - Smart or EP.

[CajunEXPRESS]

I never liked the Lakers, do not like the Lakers, but for maximum benefit to EP and UL that is the ultimate destination. Would be for me as if Jake had gone to Dallas( I hate the Cowboys), would have loved for him to play there and get the national accolades.

Chad Ford just compared EP to Gary Payton on Cowherds show.

Funny tweet from the day he announced he was going in the draft:

The green room is "where" Andy.
