With a draft containing the likes of a super-freak like Beasley, the talent of a Rose, the versatility of a Love, OJ Mayo will end up being the face of this draft? Yea, because the NBA has been drooling waiting for a no-defense-playing gun who already shows me-first, thug tendencies.
Mayo has as much ability, if not more than both Beasley and Rose. But you totally missed the statement. It was the face of the draft, pay attention. And some feel that when it's all said and done, he could be the best player from this draft. Which isn't a stretch by any means. And a news flash, every player in the draft, even Beasley & Rose have deficiencies.
Baseballtime said in his original post "face of this draft." He understands what the prediction is, he just doesn't think Mayo will be the best player to come out of this years draft. My stance isn't as firm as his, but I agree that either Rose or Beasley will turn out to be the best player to come out of the 2008 draft...Little harsh on Baseballtime fellas.
if mayo has "no defense" then why did he hold rose to 13 points when they played.... you really dont watch basketball or else u would know mayo is a great defender.
