I mean, at one point he was. :yeshrug: People forget how good of a high school player O.J. Mayo was, it just didn't pan out for him and pretty much peaked back then, but he was above Rose, Westbrook, and the rest of them and it wasn't just hype. But they definitely flew past him; Mayo really doesn't have the athleticism to be spectacular on this level in my opinion.

OJ should be better then he is though. He was at 18 a night in his rookie season so people saying he would be better then Russy wasnt to farfetched back then. I dont know what happened but i thought at the least he would be a starting two guard for a contender getting 20 a night.

Griz played a fast pace and were horrible his rookie year


Once the team got better he couldn't hack it. And then when Tony Allen gave him that bronchitis in his eye it was a wrap
