Standing at the 3 point line spaces the floor and opens up the lane for the ball handler to drive the lane or for other players to cut backdoor

 

Unless the defense completely cheats off and says we'll take our chances with Payton shooting 3's, which is a sound strategy if Elf can't make, or won't take, the shot.

It had nothing to do with him making threes. An offense without Payton on the perimeter means that Oladipo can never run a pick and roll, Harris can never go iso, and we could never post up vooch

If he is standing out there he has to take and make those shots otherwise nobody will guard him. The team will be playing 4 on 5.

It's not just about the 3. Believe it or not Payton can actually catch an open pass and initiate offense from that position as well.

Right. Plus it's incredibly difficult to close out on a guy that's moving full speed because he's wide open. They will cheat off him, sure, but only so much

As long as it happens before Dipo dribbles the ball off his knee or throws it at Vuc's feet.
