Millsap is just an undersized PF, but OJ Mayo - despite sucking for the entire year and getting traded for garbage - is SMOOOOOOOTH athletic. Man, he was so good in high school in West Virginia, he's better than Paul Millsap. Forget that Mayo is a 6' 4" SG with no hops, no arms, and has to dope to even have barely requisite strength for his position. OJ Mayo, man, coming off the bench and shooting 40% on the year and having bad shot selection is totally their core. What would they do without him? Besides win when he plays less. Nothing says "core" more than a guy that's getting by more by what he was supposed to be/where he was drafted than anything he actually brings to the table.

Honest question, have you watched OJ Mayo this year? Did you watch him in the game against OKC? Can you honestly say he did anything but help the Thunder? If you answer yes to all of those questions, you should have your ability to express your opinion revoked.

Dude, Mayo has a 41 inch vertical. Have you watched Mayo this year?

Yeah, I've been watching Mayo and he is not anything special. The only thing special about OJ Mayo, is, that he was traded for Kevin Love! The man is a 6ft3.25inch SG. That shots a poor %, 40% from the field, 76 % from the ft, and 36 % from the 3 point line. Them there our Raja Bell numbers!

And if Mayo is so good, why doesn't he play 30+ minutes anymore? Last season, he averaged, something like 38 minutes and Memphis didn't make the playoffs. This season, he averages 25 minutes and they make the playoff. Wierd, huh? Plus, it doesn't matter, if he has a 41 inch vertical. Were did that get Gerald Green....Overseas!
 
Jimmer probably has a decent vertical too. There's more to athleticism than jumping the highest you probably ever have in your life with a running start in a vacuum situation.
 
Anyone remember Luke Babbitt's athletic testing measurements? Or Tyler Hansbrough compared to Blake Griffin? Athleticism during the game is all that matters.
 
I don't know if this has come up but Mayo's salary make his acquisition a non starter. 5.6 next year with a 7.4 option. The chances of his being worth that 7.4 are near zero, so he's a one year rental.
 
Well, OJ Mayo is pretty athletic in game today. I dont know what this talk about him being to small is, he is about 6'5 with shoes on, same as Matthews. He has the same problem that CJ has. He is mentally weak and unable to perform in a role different than primary scorer. If he can ever "figure" it out, he can be a very good scorer.

I actually think he can be an okay player but he has a lot of 'if's attached. I'm curious why you think he's 6' 5" when he's measured at 6' 4.25" in shoes, though.
 
I guess I was just giving him a generous round up. I dont think SG size is really that big of deal as long as they are over 6'3.
