Name: O.J. Mayo
School: USC
Position: SG
Class: Freshman
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 200
Strengths: Let's start with the good news, O.J. Mayo has a number of traits which should make him an extremely effective NBA player shortly into his pro career.  Few players short of Rip Hamilton use screens and mid-range jump shots as well as Mayo does.  He's a born scorer with buckets full of confidence to ensure he won't hang his head after a couple misses.  Mayo has legit NBA 3-point range.  His shooting form is as close to textbook as you'll find.  While he lacks ideal height for the shooting guard position, his strength allows him to muscle defenders.  He possesses a deep desire to be an outstanding player.
Weaknesses: Undersized for the shooting guard position and lacks the natural instincts to play the point guard position.  An outstanding athlete, but for some reason his test numbers don't always translate to his in-game abilities.  Can fall into selfishness habits.  Already has quite an ego and it's only going to get bigger with age.  He's proven coachable while at USC, but you have to wonder if that's going to continue as he gets into his NBA career.  Can be turnover prone as he looks to make the difficult play rather than the simple one.
Overall: In high school he had a reputation of being uncoachable and arrogant, at USC all the reports have been good ones.  If that stays true, Mayo will be a very good NBA player who'll play in some all-star games.  If he doesn't, he'll still be pretty good, but never great.
