Man forget what the rest of yall saying man oj mayo will kill derrick rose. oj had the better stats and the better season only reason he didnt win rookie of the year is because he had a sucky team derrick had player that could step up oj had only one rudy gay so i think if he would have made the playoffs he would have won rookie of the year.

Man OJ MAYO ans DERRIK ROSE LOL. Ok now Rose is good but he is no OJ at all. Mayo is the truth playing head to head wityh guys like Kobe,T-Mac,Hamilton just all the guys thaT we consider the face of the NBA ans=d he competes with them. Rose has skills but he is just not going to cut it in this case maybe you can ask this question when he is being compared to Russell Westbrook! OJ MAYO ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

D rose is good and is definitely a good pg I mean he is putting up the same numbers that tony parker was putting up in his 5th or 4th year but I like OJ because he doesn’t have to use his athleticism as much (ala brandon roy it’s called sneaky athleticism) as rose because rose’s jumpshot is not as efficient as OJ which is why D rose goes for layups and dunks most of the time and he’s become comfortable doing so which is not a problem I do see him developing his jumpshot in another 2 seasons but mayos jumpshot is efficient for a rookie and his job is to score not pass because he is not a pg but I also see him in a season or 2 getting better at passing and creating better shots for himself and his teammates like Dwade did in his 3 season. For now though I would not pick any because 1. they’re rookies
2. They’re on losing teams(rose’s team is better but they’re in the east)
3. They haven’t even finished they’re first season yet

I personally think that they will both share the ROY trophy as co-ROY because they’re so equally matched and they both have equally the same different amount of flaws.

Wajhi says: Having OJ Mayo is like having a hot girlfreind.
Having Rose is like having a hot girlfreind who will do anything you ask her to do…

HaHa.. so true. But I love your thought process. Never even saw it in that light.

Anyone who says Rose can’t shoot yet or needs to learn to shoot has no credibility in this argument. He is actually a great shooter, and if you watch him play you can see that. His ability to find poeple and score the ball was clear from day one, here’s the point people are missing.

1)Rose can score 25+ a game, except he is forcing himself to be a PG and a better teammate to duds like Gordon and Deng. If you see him snap in the 4th quarters against GS and Utah you can clearly see that the only thing holding him back from being a pure scorer is his willingness to be a true point gaurd.

2)Mayo cannot be the pg or the teammate rose is. Mayo has and always will be a pure scorer.

3)Having OJ Mayo is like having a hot girlfreind.

Mayo for sure. Shut down wade tonight, and his numbers are incredible. 20 games in with these numbers, it doesnt look like a fluke. His assist numbers shouldnt be compared to Rose, a PG.

And everyone keeps saying they’d rather get a PG who does his job (controls tempo of the game, assists, etc) to a SG who does his job (score). I’d take Jordan over Magic or any day of the week.
