Payton was selected by Raptors 905 with the No. 15 overall pick in Monday's G League Draft. Payton appeared in 29 contests for the Wizards a season ago, putting up 3.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 14.9 minutes per game. He'll start the 2020 campaign in the G League but has shown in the past that he's capable of playing off the bench in the NBA.

The Wizards assigned Payton to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Tuesday. Wizards teammates Anzejs Pasecniks and Admiral Schofield will join Payton in the G League, as all three players are scheduled to suit up for Capital City in Tuesday's matchup with the Maine Red Claws. Expect Payton to be recalled ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Nets, though he likely won't find himself in coach Scott Brooks' rotation for that contest.
