O.J. Mayo

don't even have to hesitate. The reports I have read about his off season/lockout workouts are downright scary. And he even came back home to workout, instead of Memphis facilities where they have just put a straight jacket on his game.

He wasn't lying when he says " I've been in the lab, rewiring my game".
Love the fact he isn't playing in any of these pro/am games like most NBA players. He just working on his individual craft and skill set.

Time to bring a championship to Memphis, bro.
OJ Mayo , Michael Jordan , Allen Iverson.

so with that I guess Tyreke Evans is also better or going to be better then Kobe too, since he did 20/5/5 in his 1st year and it took Kobe 5yrs to do it and going along this line of thought, I guess Evans going to be better then Dwade too :D

If you were starting a team right now, who you got? Cuz or Bynum? Thought so.


Don't forget that Cousins was putting up those stats on a garbage team, with a garbage record. One of the worst teams in the league, and they didn't always translate to win.

Bynum >>>>> Cousins, and it's not even close.

LaMarcus Aldridge and maybe John Wall (bit of a stretch with Rondo, Deron and Rose in the East).

James Harden instantly comes up to my mind.

LMA will get overlooked by Blake Griffin and Kevin Love yet again.
Dammit...:

I've got Nurkic fever now.

With Duncan likely out this year LMA and Bynum have a good chance.


In the East, DeRozan might be able to snake his way in just cuz of the utter lack of good SGs in the league but it will hard for him to edge out JJ or Ray. I really think Wall has a better chance then expected....

He actually had a rookie year only rivalled by Chris Paul when u look at the stats. I think he can nudge out Rondo should he follow the same growth as other elite PGs have.
