This epic blog needed a fitting banner, however, it will need to have made to it some adjustments before it's ready for primetime...
*Probably already read this but check this OJ mayo analysis...
* The first thing that jumped out was OJ's lack of flexibility and single leg stability when going through the dynamic stretch. Having a powerful body and a man's build I expected the body control and range that matched a scorer of that type (most prolific scorer’s possess and master these exercises)
* He was a pleasure to coach and I took the time to run him into the ground for about an hour and a half. His skill set has solid with the natural problem that young talented powerful players fight. Those problems were the ability to change speed, lowering the hips on moves, decelerating to finish, and core rotation coordination. With dead legs OJ continued to fire NBA threes with ease while he screamed at his partner for ending his efforts early.
* OJ Mayo’s career should fall somewhere between Kobe and Ray Allen. He is not afraid of work and loves a challenge. For those who question his college career remember that his worst game of the year was against Russell Westbrook who is also a lottery pick. Compared to Rose you have to take a long look at supporting casts an the answer lies within.
This article seems pretty revealing in the fact this guy has trained with him, obviously can see he isn't super man, but realizes how insane of a scorer he is going to be... I don't know if you have read this mock draft yet, but it is the best i have seen so far... http://veganfishtacos.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/new-nba-mock-drafts-and-draft-board/
It goes on to say that Bayless and Gordon are highly over-rated, and although he has kyle singler in his top 10 which is ludicrous, he's got Mayo, Curry, James Harden, and Kevin Love, and Blake Griffin in the top 11.
Kevin Love will be an asset to and with James Harden and Blake Griffin tearing up the Pac 10 and Big 10 respectively, these will be big time players in the league...
The big point I want to make is with the D'Antoni era in New York beginning... they've got some big choices to make in the draft... Mayo should go to New York, Lebron is coming in 2010, and while Mayo is learning the ropes next year, they will have a semi-shitty record and along comes Mr. Curry to man the point.

That would be a ridiculous Knick team. I read that mayo article right before reading yours.... how scary is that? hasnt even started to tap into what he is capable of?????? I like that mock draft but i thought they had CD-R going a little high (13). Other than that, i would love to see russell westbrook on the pacers.
