The kid has got some serious 3pt skillz baby.

Who is his ideal running mate in the backourt. Maybe Mayo after all. Another combo guard with good vision and decent passing skills and shooting touch.

As we said in the other thread, yes. Probably Mayo because it would allow Foye to defend the 1 and Mayo defend the 2. Mayo is not a true pg, but he is a playmaker at 6'5 and has ice in his veins. His jumper is light years ahead of Rose as well. Mayo is only 11 months older than ROse also.

Rose is ahead of Mayo on our draft board, but either guy would be a positive for this team.

The efficient shooting and assists make my mouth water for next year.

ok, in both threads I've seen lots of love for Mayo. Let's put it to the test.

Let's say we draw the second pick and Beasley goes first. Do we trade down to #3 for Mayo if the price is right?

I say yes. Mayo doesn't make us retool our roster as much.

No way. I like Mayo a ton, but Rose is still better. To me, this draft has a clear top two (Rose and Beasley), a clear next two (Mayo and Lopez), and then a huge group of people that could go anywhere from 5 to 15. If you end up in the top 2, it should take a lot to move down. Even at 3 or 4, it should take a lot to move down (like the Clippers trade, #3 and Marko for #6, Thomas, and the Wolves pick back... Trading out of the top 4 requires a big package like that). To move out of the top 2, even to 3? It'd take at least that much.

and if Rose goes to Portland, we'll never hear the end of it.

I'm not in school anymore so I don't have to take tests. You can't make me, so there.

To answer your question, though, I'd probably stick with Rose just because a franchise PG trumps a franchise SG (assuming they both are franchise players - which is a big assumption). If I have a chance at a top-tier PG or center, I jump at it.

what did Mayo do exactly that makes everybody here pine for him, he put up a bunch of empty numbers on a mediocre team. Quite expected, no?

A 21 win team is mediocre? Being the second highest scorer in a conference which was arguably one of the best. Also being 10th in the league in assists from a guy some have tagged selfish.

I think the key factor is win % since foye took over as PG after the game Bassy got injured March 7th? Which I think is ~10wins in 22 games? 45%?

Considering there were ~60 games before that and the team was likely to be something around 11 wins in 60 games? Is that even right? Were we 11-49 before March 7th?

they underachieved. Two of the best prospects in Davon Jefferson and Mayo, Mayo the self-proclaimed best in the country. Then add Hackett and Gibson and you should in theory have an elite team.

They had 2 big wins, vs UCLA and Stanford, and bad losses against AZ st, Cal, and Mercer

3 to 2 ratio of disappointing losses vs big wins

USC grad here. We did underachieve. I thought ti was because of three things.

After Taj, a complete lack of front court players.

No depth. Flloyd only trusted 6 players. That's the most he'd play most games. Once Taj or someone got in foul trouble they were screwed.

Flloyd's offense. I've never seen an offense struggle so much to get an open shot. They should have been an uptempo team and rarely did that occur. They woul dput three guards and pass aroud the three point line until they would have to jack up a three or until they through the ball away. At times it was hard to watch.

Hopefully when Derozan comes next year he'll let him and Jefferson push the ball more. Overall, next year I think we'll be better.

If we wanted a nut in the backcourt we could have just kept Davis.
