Eventhough his numbers have dropped, they are still very good for a rookie. It's sort of unrealistic to expect a rookie to continue to average what he was back in Nov and Dec. Alot of other guys are just now starting to have the type of games that OJ has had all season, but now people are ready to say that those guys are impressive but OJ isn't for real.

Love is averaging nearly a double double and he's a year younger...argument over.


Really? And who are these "fans"?

You tend to get a lot of minutes and take a lot of shots when you're expected to be the best player on your team. Both Mayo and Love have had very impressive rookie campaigns.
