Scoop Jackson of ESPN has come up with his 07-08 NBAipedia and has an interesting entry for O.J. Mayo:
O.J. Mayo (legend est. 2004) is the USC freshman guard who will be the most-watched college player by NBA execs this year. Will be the most-anticipated freshman coming out of college since Carmelo Anthony — possibly more than Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. The Next LeBron. The Next D-Wade. The Next Kobe. Pay attention to the Bobcats, Sixers, Timberwolves, Kings, Hawks, Hornets and especially the Clippers (only because of the L.A. connection) to see if (more likely when) they start losing games to get a shot at getting Mayo first in next year’s draft. A recent report from an ESPN college basketball analyst out of Southern Cal: “Nick Young better be glad he left school early, because this kid Mayo would have ruined his NBA future. He’s that good.”
