steady, experienced guard with veteran utility
Payton Brooks is a proven, team-first guard who brings size, experience, and low-drama reliability to the floor. In his 2021-22 season at UMHB, he played in all 31 games and averaged 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assist, then followed with a 2022-23 season of 4.6 points per game while earning Academic All-ASC honors. What stands out beyond the box score is his consistency, versatility, and coach-friendly profile: he’s the kind of guard who fits systems, competes, and won’t hijack possessions.
