Get used to that.
OJ is hands down the best player on that team
I haven't seen enough of Grizz games to say that.
But I find it hard to believe that O.J. is actually better than Rudy Gay.

there numbers are closer
But they shouldn't be, right? That's what everybody says. Rudy is suppose to be the clearly superior player.
My favorite stat is their three point percentages.
Mayo - 45.5%
Gay - 17.7%

It's been this way for OJs entire career now, dudes do not understand that this guy was easily the 2nd most complete player from the draftaside from Beasley .. And I think yall really underrate him defensivelyOriginally Posted by bhzmafia14
I think I've watched more Grizzlies games than anybody on here and I have to say that Mayo's learning curve is alot higher than Gay. The same type of mistakes and turnovers Rudy is making in his 3rd season, Mayo isn't making. Mayo needs to have the ball in his hands at the top of the key creating because he is the best creator on the team. Rudy feet are too slow to even take players off the dribble. Everytime Mayo has the ball in his hands, 95% of the time something good comes out of it. Conley needs to be packaged with a player to bring in a starting defensive two guard and another big man.
As much as I like Rudy, he needs to learn how to take the ball down low instead of settling for outside shots all the time. Mayo doesn't force anything and that's what impresses me so much with him as a rookie. IMO, it looked like Rudy was being a hater and not letting OJ shine because he was taking shots with 4 players around him knowing he was having an off night. Gasol is barely even giving any touches in the paint. He only attempted like 3 shots that game, and I think they need to run more plays for him on the block instead of sending him out to the perimeter where he gets blind-sided by the opponents guard for the steal every single time. It's mostly coaching that alot of these errors are happening.

Exactly. Rudy just doesn't understand the concept of team basketball.

It was comical to watch how visibly upset Rudy was when Mayo was knocking down shots left and right. He's not going to be able to handle beinga second option.

If he were guarding players his size, his defense would be an asset. Unfortunately, most shooting guards aren't 6'4" and under.

yall riding OJ way to hard
I haven't seen Mayo play, but averaging 2.0 assists in 38 minutes per game for a guard doesn't exactly scream team play.Originally Posted by Xtapolapacetl

That's the difference between watching the games and looking at the stats. Mayo is probably the most unselfish player in the starting lineup. The fact that he doesn't get enough assists doesn't have to do with him, it has to deal with the players around him not converting.Originally Posted by bhzmafia14

I'll try to catch the Phoenix Memphis game tonight.
QFT. This thread has turned into the OJ slurping thread. I swear everyone on NT hated OJ when he first arrived in 'SC and now everyone isriding him like a rodeo. SMH thinking OJ is better than Rudy at this point. I mean son got game, but y'all act like he's Kobe now.Originally Posted by lnMyMind
