Because he looks like nothing like a PG to me. Awful shot selection, way too turnover prone, and dosn't seem to trust his teammates in the clutch (he took all but one of USC's shots in OT last night). He's got a ton of talent, but he isn't very disciplined on offense. Right now, I'm more impressed with his defense -- he shut Rose down for most of the game, playing th lead in that tiangle defense the Trojans threw at Memphis, totally discombulating the young Memphis PG. Rose played WAY too passively for most of last night. I've heard that he is unselfish to a fault as a PG, and that seemed to be proven last night. But he also looked clueless in attacking the defense -- was far better in the open court. He did step up in crunch time, espcially on defense. But he didn't look anywhere near ready to be a starting PG on the NBA level. Granted, it was just one game, but I'm skeptical that either of these guys ar going to be instant stars on the NBA level (I'm going off just what I've seen -- I've watched both guys play 3 games this season). They will probably eventually be stars, but not necessarily as rookies. Are NBA scouts looking at OJ Mayo as a PG or as a SG? Because he looks like nothing like a PG to me.

Sorry, that doesn't = All-Star to me. He's had some strong games this year, but he is far too inconsistent to be an All-Star. And remember, there is no distinction on the ballot between PG and SG. He isn't going to beat out Kidd, Billups, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson,Dwyane Wade, etc. etc. etc. Jamaal Tinsley is shooting blow 40% from the field this season (30% from behind 3-point line) and has a mediocre 2.4 A/TO ratio this season.

But dude is still balling. He's been hurt the last few seasons, but now he's healthy and producing again. I am a bit suprised. Stoudamire is doing his thing, but got outbeasted and overstrengthed by Dwight Howard last week. Amare got punked all game long. The Kings play gritty, but Utah should be ashamed of losing to Sacto and giving up 117pts. I guess that what a new contract gets a coach. And Andy V signed an offer sheet with the billy-bobcats; hmmm....his agent should have made this up months ago to force the teams hand. I thought Jamaal Tinsley was finished.
