O.J. Mayo scored 14 points on 6 of 13 shooting in 30 minutes in his first NBA preseason game as the Memphis Grizzlies lost to the Houston Rockets 96-93.
Marc Iavaroni had some nice things to say about O.J. Mayo via Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal:
“He arrives early and stays late. His competitive spirit never needs booster cables. O.J. Mayo is making a smooth transition so far. He’s shown everything he’s shown before… He’s a tremendous competitor. He pays a lot of attention to defense. He’s got a balanced game. He’s learning that he can be an assassin in this league.”
