Adreian Payne was a star big man on the Michigan State Spartans basketball team under Tom Izzo, went No. 15 overall in 2014 NBA draft.

Payne was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves during his rookie season and played 107 NBA games over three seasons, finishing with five games in 2017-18 after signing with the Orlando Magic, and averaging 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game. He returned to Panathinaikos in early 2019 and helped win a Greek Basketball Cup before being released in March that year. Prosecutors did not press charges at the time, and no further legal action was taken after the January 2018 ESPN story. After spending time in France and Turkey from 2019-2021, Payne signed in December with Juventus Utena in Lithuania. He averaged 8.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in seven games before being released in February. Payne then bounced around overseas, finishing the 2018 season with Panathinaikos in Greece after being cut and then playing briefly in China early in 2018.

Former NBA Player Adreian Payne Shot Dead At 31 (Forbes)

Payne, a first round pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, was shot and killed in Florida early Monday morning.

Selected 15th overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2014 NBA draft, Payne played portions of four seasons in the league before continuing his basketball career overseas, most recently in Lithuania. A 6-foot-10 center, Payne made his most notable impact on the court while at Michigan State, where he played between 2010 and 2014, setting the school’s record for blocked shots and earning two second-team All-Big Ten selections. While at Michigan State, Payne was known for his friendship with young cancer patient Lacey Holsworth, who died in 2014 at eight years old. Magic Johnson, who starred at Michigan State before embarking on a Hall of Fame career in the NBA, tweeted Monday he was “heartbroken” to hear of Payne’s death, adding he “will be sorely missed.”
