Ricky Rubio

[QUOTE=out|hoops|side]Sounds like O.J. Mayo hmm?[/QUOTE] Oj Mayo actually plays good D, dont know what youre talking about.

No, I have a buddy who played against him at Las Vegas Big Time. Says Mayo stood at the other end of the court while his teammates played D and then would wait for the full-court pass so he could throw it down really huge-like.:rolleyes:
Might have changed for college, but still seems lazy on D to me.

thats where mayo the ego was ahead of mayo the player, but no one would put up with that in anything other then club basketball which is where im sure that happened. He guarded the best guard night in and night out at USC and held his own..:rolleyes:

[QUOTE=lilojmayo]lol u just a hater brush it off oj mayo when he averages 30 a night his rookie year imma make a big thread on how i told you so[/QUOTE]


Mayo won't average 30 ppg even once in his career. :roll:

Mayo's a great defender. Check the games against Arizona and UCLA when he shut down both Bayless and Collison. And I do mean shut down.

Alot of people here talking about this 17yr old are all assuming things,1st that as soon as he is 19 or eligable to go to the NBA he will go.Then it is also of considerable doubt whether you guys have actually seen the guy play often,Probably most people giving opinions have seen him play in a couple of games for spain and some youtube vids!
I only ask one thing,where was Nash when he was 17? how about Chris Paul?Deron Williams?would they have played in an olympic final?

I can't tell if you are arguing for Rubio or against his talent??

[QUOTE=Posterize246]Mayo's a great defender. Check the games against Arizona and UCLA when he shut down both Bayless and Collison. And I do mean shut down.[/QUOTE]

So...what do you mean...I don't get it. You meant shut down as in...?

sorry i thought i was pretty clear.

[QUOTE=la bomba]sorry i thought i was pretty clear.[/QUOTE]

Reading it again, I would have to hazard a guess that you think Rubio is good?

my fault i meant russell westbrook not collison

Game 1 vs. UCLA- Westbrook shot 2-11, 4 pts, 5 turnovers

Game 2 vs. UCLA- Westbrook shot 2-11, 7 pts

Game 1 vs. Arizona- Bayless shot 4-9, 10 pts, 3 turnovers

Game 2 vs. Arizona- Bayless shot 2-6, 8 pts, 6 turnovers

Both were lottery picks. Both had Mayo as their defender that game.
