What separates Mayo from Bayless?

I honestly haven't seen enough of them to know...but I'm curious. It sounds like Mayo is an inch or maybe 2 taller, but Bayless is more athletic.

Also, just as a note, both DX and .net have us taking Lopez.

Mayo has defense on his side.

What separates them?

TALENT! Mayo has it, Bayless doesn't

I'll play devil's advocate. Mayo has character issues, Bayless does not.

Id call being an undersized SG who doesnt have the mentality of a leader-type PG and would easily become a shoot first ask questions later type player an issue

Posts are running rampant on Lopez or Mayo...but shouldn't we be including Bayless in some of these discussions? Talent wise, he's right up there, and it's not unquestionable to assume he could be given a serious look at #3.

My preference would obviously be Mayo, but what is everyone's opinion if we end up with Bayless instead?

To undersized for my liking. I see him as a 2-Guard prospect because from what I have seen I dont see him developing as a Point.

He could be a Billups type player, but with Foye in play I think we need someone who can compliment him and play off the ball.

You guys already have a combo guard, Bayless would be redundant with Foye on board.

Mayo is sort of a combo guard as well

Yeah, but Mayo is about 6-6, 6-7..Bayless...Not so much.

Krapinsky · Post #15 » by **Krapinsky** » Wed May 21, 2008 5:59 am

Has Mayo grown 2-3 inches?

theGreatRC · Post #16 » by **theGreatRC** » Wed May 21, 2008 6:21 am

Alright. 6-5, I was just trying to hype my boy up.

Weird that it says 6-4 on nbadraft.

Krapinsky · Post #17 » by **Krapinsky** » Wed May 21, 2008 6:33 am

^^^ESPN has him at 6'4" too fyi.

He will be listed at 6'5" in the NBA.

Bayless should be in the discussion...the difference between Mayo and Bayless from what i see is 1 inch but gotta wait till the measurements.

The difference between Mayo and Bayless is defense. Wolves don't need another guard who doesn't play defense. On offense, Bayless is quicker. Mayo is more polished, stronger.
