Tracking the Draft Stock of Louisiana's Elfrid Payton

[FeelDaRage]

Not bad for a guy who got one d1 offer out of high school. I read that he got to start in high school because the guy ahead of him who was getting recruited got into trouble or something. Then a couple of UL's players get the axe or transfer and he ends up getting a chance to develop more than he probably would have otherwise. Funny how things work out for the most unlikely of people to get opportunities like this. Great job EP!!!

UL guard Elfrid Payton will be among the players invited to be in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, for the NBA Draft this coming Thursday.

Only prospects that are projected to go in the first round of the draft are invited to be in the green room and walk out on the stage when their name is called.

A couple of those guys transferring out could have seen the writing on the wall, before anyone else did.

They should be scouts

Congratulations to Elfrid!!! This is a great thing for him and for UL.

Didn't that Andy burrel guy used to cover Cajun sports. Why the hell is he using the second Largest.
Also you have to be pretty damn stupid to think he may not get drafted, he will be a lottery pick. Book it!

Those tweets were from 2 months ago. Most projected him late 1st at best then. A lot has changed

"In the third set of pre-draft workouts for the Los Angeles Lakers, Louisiana-Lafayette’s Elfrid Payton was asked back for a second workout at the Lakers facility. He was high on their radar after his skill impressed many during his first workout at the Toyota Sports Center."
