Turn to the Portuguese League! This former Bucks champion member s condition has been very impressive?

Portuguese League team FC Porto officially announced that the team has signed former NBA player Axel Toupane, who was previously in free agency, and he will also appear in the Portuguese League for the first time in the new season.

Don Payne, from France, was born in July 1992. He is 33 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 89kg. He was the undraft in the 2014 NBA Draft. Don Payne signed with the Denver Nuggets in March 2016 and became an NBA player. He has since played for the New Orleans Pelicans and the Milwaukee Bucks. He is also one of the members of the Bucks' NBA championship in 2021. In the NBA, Don Payne has played 33 times in total, averaging 12.5 minutes per game, averaging 3.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.3 blocks, 0.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 37.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75%.

Don Payne also has rich experience in European competitions. He has played in the Ligue 1, Lithuanian, La Liga, Lebanon and Taiwan League. In the Taiwan League last season, he played 8 games, averaging 26.2 minutes per game, averaging 13 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.1 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, shooting percentage of 30.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 25%, and free throw shooting percentage of 70.3%. In the Lebanese League last season, he played 4 times in total, with averaging 40.2 minutes per game, with averaging 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2.5 steals and 1 block, and 2 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. He shot 42.9%, three-point shooting percentage 23.8%, and free throw shooting percentage 55.6%.

Although Don Payne has played in the NBA for several seasons, as he grows older, we can also see that his decline in form is very obvious. His condition has been very bad in recent seasons, which is also an important factor that makes it difficult for him to continue playing in a high-level European league like La Liga or Ligue 1. Even in the Taiwan League or the Lebanese League with average strength, it is difficult for him to show enough competitiveness, which can also show how bad his condition is. Now he can only switch to the Portuguese League, which is not ranked in the European arena, which further shows that it is difficult for him to find a job in a team of higher standards. Don Penn is actually just over 33 years old. Logically speaking, there should be some oil in his fuel tank. I didn't expect that he would drop to this level so quickly.
