The LA Times had an article last week on how scouts are seeing O.J. Mayo’s future in the NBA.

Is Mayo a lottery pick? Two scouts came away with different opinions:

I don’t think that’s a slam dunk, but he’s in that range.
I’d be shocked if he went any lower than seventh.

The next LeBron?

I think he’s a little overrated… the word was out that this guy is the next LeBron James. I do not think he is the next coming of LeBron James in any way.

Only time will tell if Mayo can prove the doubters wrong.
