OJ Mayo: 21 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, PER 19.73 per game

[chambers]

Would be interesting to see what he'd be doing with Rondo throwing him the ball.
 He's also number one in 3 Point FG % this season too.
Seems he's been let out of the cage.
He's playing 35 mins per game and getting that 21 points off 15 shot attempts a game. He's not a bad defender either.
 I mean Dallas are an average team, and I don't know if he'll crash and burn once Dirk returns, but he's doing well at the moment.
 First we traded Ray Allen for this guy, and then it was pulled. Then it was between him and Courtney Lee apparently. Seems like Danny had the right idea trying to get him, he just couldn't pull it off.
 I'm a Courtney Lee fan and think he hustles his ass off. But we sure could use Mayo's size and 3 point shooting at the moment.

Mayo is undersized.

Could use him for his ballhandling though.

Don't give up on Lee yet!

Danny was right on the money trying to trade ray for mayo it seems. Would have been great if it went through.

Won't give up on Lee. Hindsight is a wonderful and often painful thing.
With the size thing, Mayo is 6 foot 4 and SHOOTS. Lee is 6 foot 4 and shoots 5 shots a game. Having a 2 guard at least 6 foot 4 that would shoot like this would be great on the perimeter vs Wade and Granger in the playoffs.
Avery is 6' 2" and Terry is about the same, Mayo's extra length would be handy even if he's still an inch shorter than desired I guess is what I'm trying to say.

[Fafnir]

His rebounds, assists, shots, FTAs, ToVS, defense, 2 point fg percentage, shots at the rim, percentage at the rim etc. are all pretty much the same as when he couldn't get off the bench all that much Memphis.

The two differences is that he's shooting like Kyle Korver's best year from 3pt range this year and he's hitting more of his free throws.

Would be right on the money trading Ray for anybody, really.

I think the OJ Mayo spot should have been between Mayo and Jason Terry rather than between Mayo and C-Lee. That combo guard super-sub scorer off the bench role. Rather than an out and out two guard like Courtney Lee who can actually defend his position.

I am happy with Courtney Lee. I prefer Lee (for this team) to Mayo because Terry is already here.

I would have loved this as well. Ive always been a big Mayo fan. He is playing very well for the Mavs this year and scoring at a nice rate.

[slamtheking]

I think he'd have worked out well if exchanged for Ray.  I could see him here instead of JET.  He's younger and bigger so that would be an improvement.  The one thing JET does have to his credit is experience in taking big shots late in the game -- at least moreso than Mayo

[pearljammer10]

For the record not only would I have loved to see Mayo starting for us, but I would have liked to see how Ray performed in Memphis as well. He would have been a nice addition off the bench for them and maybe bumped them up a little more as championship contenders.

[action781]

The reason Mayo is exploding now opposed to in Memphis is he is finally getting the opportunity to be in control of the offense.  In Memphis, he was a role player.  If he played in Boston, he also would take the back seat and be a role player.  I don't think he would have broken out in Boston like he has in Dallas because of lack of opportunity to.  I do still think he is one heck of a ball player though.

I think Mayo found a perfect situation in Dallas, where they desperately needed a wing scorer, and an extra ballhandler...particularly with Dirk out.

Mayo has always been talented, but wasn't fully utilized (nor did he really fit) in Memphis. 

Good for him.  I like it when talented players save their careers. 

[Who]

I don't think OJ Mayo has broken out. He is just on a hot streak.

[Snakehead]

I don't think OJ Mayo has broken out. He is just on a hot streak.

Yeah I have to believe the floor is waiting to fall out on this one.

Also keep in mind they need him to score this much without Dirk.  Not that he hasn't been shooting well but that will effect his numbers when Dirk is back.

At the end of the day, I don't expect him to shoot threes at this percentage, that's for sure.

[Chris]

While I am sure his shooting numbers will almost certainly drop from where they are right now, I am not sure they will drop that considerably.  He always has been a talented scorer, and Dallas has been really playing to his strengths.  His peripheral game (rebs, assists, defense) probably won't change much, but I do expect his scoring to settle down into the high teens, as his three point shooting drops closer to his career average (39%).  His assists also might rise, once Dirk returns.

I really think if he is used as a #1 or 2 option on a team, then he can consistently be a 18, 4 and 5 type guy, with solid shooting percentages.
