OJ is shooting 48% from the field, 38% beyond the arc and 84% from the line.

I'd say that is very good, considering he is a freshman and scoring quite a bit and not playing with his back to the basket.

Wireman didn't move to Danville because he wanted to utilize his math major!:lol: Of course, I was the one who had to publicly admit he was a genius.:irked:

 

 

 

 

Oh, wait, he may have a "source" that knows how many shots OJ takes! LOL

 

sorry, spindoc, you beat me to it.

For the record OJ is shooting 49.5 % from the field, and 42.2 % from 3 point range.

 

He and Gibson together are averaging 8.2 turnovers per game to go along with 4.6 assists per game. :sssh:

My source is the team's official statistics, which say he's taken 97 shots in 6 games.

I played against this guy when he was in 6th grade. He played for the WV Express, he could dunk in the 6th grade!

He is definately a great talent.

Yes he is. One year in college and to the NBA.

There'll be those who will take every chance to hack on him then too. He can't win in the court of public opinion. And especially those with ties to the 16th region basketball here.

For the record, I'm not knocking at all because of the 16th region ties. I enjoyed watching Mayo play and wish they could've beat Ashland in the regional championship way back when. I'm just saying that he is a great talent that could be better. With good coaching, he most likely will get better. If you're satisified with where you are (in basketball or life), you'll never get any better.

Perhaps one reason, he's the shooting guard, in the offensive scheme.

 

Balance is great in the team concept but every team, must have 1-2 "go to" guys and Mayo has always been one, in HS. If they can find another, to help take future double-teams, chasers, match-up zones off Mayo, this team can be very good.

I love "teammates" that shoot 25 times a game, as well. I do agree that if he can learn to play the team sport of basketball, he will have a great career.

I hate to tell you, but that doesn't come out to 25 shots a game.

Don't get me wrong. I don't care if he shoots 1,000 shots, as long as the majority of them are good shots. OJ forces the game a little too much. That worked well in high school, but that won't fly in the NBA. I think its a big-time blessing that he is getting a season of college ball to hone his skills a little.

We're already determined 10 posts ago that I was being sarcastic and that 97/6 = 16.17 shots per game.

I'm curious,,,how many USC games have you watched in their entirety this season, honestly!?

Really? Allen Iverson sure has made a good living doing it.
