Cameron Payne started his career playing for Murray State in college and quickly made a name for himself by earning the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year award in 2015. This achievement helped him get drafted into the NBA by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the same year.

Although Payne showed early promise, he had to go through multiple teams before finding his footing with the Phoenix Suns. He was traded to the Chicago Bulls in 2017 and also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Shanxi Longs, and Texas Legends. However, it was not until he signed a two-season deal with the Phoenix Suns in 2020 that Payne finally found his feet.

Throughout his career, Payne has also won several awards and accolades, including the OVC Player of the Year (2015), Lute Olson Award (2015), 2× First-team All-OVC (2014, 2015), and OVC Freshman of the Year (2014).
