“First of all, I think when you talk about a kid that’s coming off an injury and getting healthy, there’s a mental thing there that he has to get over,” Payne said. “It’s been a long time since he’s played basketball, and he’s going to have some aches and pains. He has to be able to practice and get through those aches and pains and feel comfortable. He’s getting to that point.
“I don’t know if he’s there yet, Coach Cal doesn’t know if he’s there yet, but I do know that he’s getting to the point where he’s feeling more comfortable. Hopefully it’s soon, but it’s wrong for adults to force a kid to do anything when they don’t feel like they are ready yet. So Coach Cal is never going to do that to a kid. That’s not what we do here.”
