This has been the biggest question since he's hit the NBA even more than whether or not he will be a star in this league. Today in the Memphisnewspaper, Coach Hollins stated,

OJ Mayo is like a glorified JR Smith. I don't think he holds much value for NBA teams. He scores in chunks and doesn't distribute, so with that I'dsay SG, but he seems to be a player that can fill the stat sheet, but doesn't help the team win much. That's what I think.

If you replaced "O.J. Mayo" with "Rudy Gay," you'd be right (outside of the J.R. comparison).
I won't even comment on the O.J./J.R. comparison.
O.J. is a playmaker. If Hollins put the ball in his hands for a majority of the game, he'd be great.

OJ Mayo is gonna be one of the greatest stars in the next few years. I can't believe alot of teams passed on him in the draft......MIAMI

wasn't he the 3rd pick of the draft???
i haven't really seen the grizz play this year, but he's shooting the ball at a pretty decent percentage for a rookie guard. why would you want to movehim on the ball?

But I can't believe Miami took Mike Beasley over him. Minnesota made a huge mistake when they traded him to Memphis.

He can make plays but he is not a facilitator on offense like THAT.....he is better suited at the 2.

O.J. isn't a PG, his position is the 2.
O.J. needs the ball in his hands to make plays, but not plays a PG would make with distributing the ball. O.J. needs it to score, not distribute. Not a catch& shoot like the rip comparison, more of the ball in his hands to make plays to get points. He can hit the jumper, & take it to the basket as well.
I think his scoring talent would be put to waste a little if he played PG, he's a scoring SG, that's his most comfortable spot I think.

OJ CANNOT play PG in the NBA.
He is an SG.... a position where he will find himself very undersized.

Juice is a definitely a SG.
He might be able to be like BRoy and play PG in spots though.

Where do you find these photos?
...and yes I agree he can do so in spots but not for 48 minutes that's not his natural game.
