O.J. Mayo shines in the NBA.
Former USC Trojan O.J Mayo shines again in the NBA. He’s having an unbelievable rookie year without much help from his teammates. The Grizzles need a lot of work on the offensive and defensive end; a young talented team, but without the cohesion peanut butter and jelly needed to survive in the Wild West. Rudy Gay in his second NBA season is the franchise face for the Grizzles. O.J Mayo and Marc Gasol are the Grizzles second and third best players in their rookie year. Heck, we don’t even know if Gasol has completed adapted to the American lifestyle, and I’m not talking basketball. ¿Cómo estás Marc?"
This team is so young; it should be given a ten or fifteen point lead against every team except the Clippers. What I can’t believe is how O.J is leading all rookies in scoring on a team of this caliber. He’s creating his own shot, and doing it with a defender in his face the whole time. A young Kobe, but without the girl drama.
Call me a prophet, or better yet, a idiot, but Derrick Rose has also played well for the Bulls, but under completely different circumstances. Derrick Rose is playing with a team with a lot more depth and skills. The Bulls have 5 players who are scoring in double-digits, and they rotate six players whom have four or more year’s experience. On the other hand, Memphis rotates eight players with only one player with more than 2 year’s experience which is Hakim Warrick whose been in the league a whopping three years.
With all the pre-draft attention given towards the likes of Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley this rookie of the year contest will end up in the media hands. Greg Oden has been injured prone and Michael Beasley is good, but not great. It will come down to O.J and Derrick. O.J needs to consistently scores a lot of points for the Grizzles if he wants the ROY media buzz. If he’s able to score 35 points at least three or four times this year he will win the ROY. For Derrick to win the ROY he needs to lead the Bulls into the second round of the playoffs.
