Suns sign Cameron Payne to two-year deal

Well-traveled point guard Cameron Payne, a current free agent most recently with the Cavaliers during the 2018-2019, has inked a two-year contract with the Suns, per Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic. 

According to Gina Mizell, most recently of The Athletic, the Suns have made it official.

Since being drafted at the bottom of the 2015 lottery with the No. 14 pick out of Murray State by the Thunder, Payne has logged time, primarily as a backup, with Oklahoma City, the Bulls and the Cavaliers. He holds averages of 6.0 points (he is connecting on just 39.7 percent of his looks from the field but a decent 77.5 percent from the charity stripe), 1.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

The 26-39 Suns, led by All-Star Devin Booker, will be joining the NBA’s season resumption in Orlando. The 6-foot-3 Payne can help the team shore up its guard depth as an end-of-beach/practice addition at either position.
