Capable catch and shoot player who can knock down shots running off of screens and with a hand in his face. Takes a lot of pull up jumpers, using his quickness to get inside and his leaping ability to rise above traffic. Decent three point shooter, still has room to improve his consistency though. Prone to forcing some shots over defenders, especially off the bounce. Gets great elevation and has a high release point. Possesses solid form and has improved his footwork dramatically over time. Gets a quarter of his offense from each of isolations, spot ups, and a blend of fast breaks and post ups. Still has opportunities to improve, particularly as a team player. Mayo, forms the foundation of Memphis�s future. Took a small step backwards in his third year, but teamed with O.J. Had a solid rookie year, but blossomed as a perimeter scorer after the departure of Pau Gasol. Selected with the eighth pick by the Rockets, but was dealt to Memphis almost immediately. Former McDonald�s All-American won Big East Conference Rookie of the Year Award at UConn. Was as perimeter oriented in his college career as he is now. Has excellent height, a 7∣ wingspan, and outstanding run-jump athleticism. Possesses an outstanding physical profile. A blossoming young star who took advantage of his opportunities on a bad team, but has some trouble with his consistency. Overview: One of the premier players from his draft class.
