O.J. Mayo and James Harden with these breakout seasons so far looking like they are battling for that #2 SG spot in the NBA.
These guys went from 6th men to top 6 in the league in scoring as of right now and doing it in extremely efficient fashions.
Potential rivalry for years to come if juice and harden keep this up and juice stays in Texas.
What OJ is doing is not remotely sustainable.
Its been a pleasure to watch, though.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this a bit. For one, if there is anybody who can't keep this up, imo it's James Harden. He's fastly coming down to earth. Every week statistically he's coming further and further down. I do think however, where Harden is now is where he'll probably end up. The problem down the line with Housotn is, they just aren't a competitive team at all. It really is James Harden and friends down there. Interesting to see how that'll play out.
As far as OJ is concerned, this is a guy who's a high school legend, ended his freshman year of college doing exactly what he's doing now, why can't he continue to do this? I do agree that the shooting percentages have to go down a bit, but not that far down. Dirk isn't even on the floor yet. When Dirk gets back, that should give OJ even more open shots than he has now. When dirk comes back, they have two players now who can put up at least 23 a game, and that gives you a chance to win every night in the NBA. Could be a potential dark horse if they get into the playoff party down the line.
It's just great to see two guys who were coming off the bench last year playing at an All-Star level. Even though OJ is a bit more surprising thus far, if anyone has followed both of them while they been in the league, they knew that they were more than capable of doing this.
That kid has his head on straight
Bright future indeed
PHX medical staff deserves something this season for the poor bill of health their ex-players have since they left them. this is crazy.
