I agree to an extent. He's a combo guard after all. However, I think that Mayo won't have the same 2 holes in his game that Crawford does (well, the same 2 massive holes). Crawford is an AWFUL, absolutely atrocious defender whereas Mayo is going to be at least an above average defender. Crawford makes absolutely dreadful decisions with the ball whereas Mayo (from what I've seen) is more controlled and makes better decisions.
I agree with the defense bit. However, from what I've seen his shot selection is just as bad as Crawford's and he doesn't seem to have that Kobe-like "I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU" personality while playing. Too passive to become a star wing player IMO and if he's not a star wing player after going #3 then IMHO he is a bust
