What team you think might snag him?

Horrible move. The guy is supposed to be a guard able to play point, and he averaged more turnovers than assists.

statman32 · 04-10-2008, 02:41 AM

I cant believe it. Who would have thought?

Anyways, hes arguably the 3rd best pro prospect in the draft although his value will go down becuase of reports about his attitude. If you ask me, all the reports are overrated. Dude works his ass off and why he might be a little cocky, it seems to me like hes a team player.

Mayo will be the best guard from this class. Yes that includes Rose.

He can possibly end up in Seattle or Minny.

Seattle...or um Oklahoma City is gunna be sick.

Something to ponder over:

OJ Mayo will be 21 the first week of the next season. Just to preempt some of the upside talk.

Hammertime · 04-10-2008, 03:16 AM

Oh, and his full name is Ovinton J'Anthony.

I knew there was a reason why 16-year-olds shouldn't be allowed to name kids, much less have them.

He's already 20? Did he get held back or somethin or was he just enrolled in school late?

Pretty sure he enrolled in school late. Amare also turned 20 the first month of his rookie year.

I think he would be a good combo guard in the NBA, and i can see him develop into a Jamal Crawford type of player with a much better scoring ability.

oj is a good college player, a solid player even, but he is gonna get torn up in the pros. its not even a question, he just doesnt have the creativity to match up with quality defenders in the lane. Granted, he prolly will come out near the top when it comes to the learning curve, but he wont be an impact player for at least another 5 years. STAY IN SKOOL DUDE!

Isn't Lil Romeo starting at his school in the fall on a hoops scholarship? I thought he'd at least stay and play with him for one season just for the publicity and stuff

Yah but he wont even be playing becuase he snot very good and because he had a huge injury or something.

I doubt lil Romeo would have gotten OJ Mayo any more pub anyways. Its not like its lil bow wow.
