rugged, efficient frontcourt presence for Vermont
Payton Henson built his Vermont profile as a sturdy 6-8 forward who scored efficiently, rebounded his area, and delivered in big moments: in the 2017 season, he averaged 10.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in America East play, and in the 2016-17 league title game he finished with 17 points to help seal the championship[1][4][9]. His differentiators were touch around the rim, a strong finishing rate, and a willingness to do the dirty work; Vermont’s staff notes he arrived after two seasons at Tulane and had already shown multiple double-figure scoring games before becoming a Catamount[8]. Good fit? For a team needing a physical, experienced, low-drama forward who can score efficiently and hold up in pressure games, absolutely.
