Murray State University basketball officials are making an announcement this afternoon on sophomore Cameron Payne’s future.
In recent weeks,sports commentators across the country have speculated that Payne may be leaning towards an NBA draft, which would make him the youngest MSU player to go pro.
Since 1968, MSU has had 6 players drafted to the NBA; the most recent being Isaiah Canaan in 2013.
The 20-year-old Payne from Memphis has played point guard for the Racers since 2013. During that time, he’s earned a host of recognition including a MSU-record nine Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week awards.
Payne and Head Coach SteveProhm are holding a press conference at 3pm in the CFSB Center today; we’ll have more details after the conference.
