Mayo in the mix for second pick?
Move over Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose. Ovinton J'Anthony Mayo has requested a table for three. Judging by Heat president Pat Riley's resent itinerary and guard Dwyane Wade's Sunday semi-endorsement, there is growing evidence and confirmation now that this is at least a three horse race for Miami's No. 2 pick in the June 26 NBA Draft.

I can see it, since the NBA is swinging into becoming a guard-strong league.

Oh wow, didn't even realize it before, but now I see why he goes by "OJ". That's a horrible name...gotta love parents for giving their children undesireable names. That's almost as bad as Eggbert.

His parents didn't name him O.J, - He's Ovington J'Anthony Mayo. And going by O.J. wasn't the worst thing in the world until 14 years ago. Surely Mayo's a bit older than that.

I think Mayo could have a bigger upside than Beasley-
- but Mayo also could turn into Ricky Davis-

That's where my comment came from. You must not read well. Because his name is Ovington J'Anthony, I can see why he goes by OJ....nevermind why am I explaining myself over the internet?

If pat riley picks OJ mayo ahead of beasley, he needs to get fired.

i think so too. especially after seeing paul explode into the league the way he did. don't get me wrong i don't think he's another paul but he definitely has a similar skill set. mayo might be a better 2 than 1 in the league tho

Trade down....get a squad....Mayo, Beasley, whoever---they wont give you more than 34 wins this year...that's not so great. Trade down build your squad PAT: don't trade for played out 30 somethings this time.

I think Mayo is too similar to Wade...same size, similar athleticism, but Mayo has an edge in shooting. Unless they don't plan to keep Wade(which i think they should), i don't see the logic. If they don't draft Beasley or can't manage to get Rose, I would say just trade the pick all together and get some proven vets.They needed to have proven vets when they won the title, so why not now.

yeah.....why take on a proven point guard when you can trade down and get an unproven rookie....nonsense. get miller millicic and conley/lowery for the # 5 and jwill, d-cook, and the #2.

I hear that nobody in Detroit is untouchable except Rodney Stuckey - that means Billups is on the market. But I seriously doubt he'll be moving anywhere.

Mayo and Paul are not even close in my opinion. Mayo reminds me of a Jamal Crawford, very gifted at scoring, but does the team really win that much? Sure he is probably going to be a good defender, but that will take time.

When was the last time that USC produced a true star in basketball? Harold Miner was the only name that I can remember, but Baby Jordan also went to the Heat then disappeared off the radar.

Mayo can play but you better be ready to pay... he brings money baggage but he is a solid player.

Two undersized players on the frontline...They would have a worse record next year! If they take Beasley then another trade is a must, the only question is for who and for what? They should trade down though.

It's funny how this discussion changed now that we know that Beasley is only 6'7" and Rose is only 6'1".... Mayo is not really ready to star in the NBA.... lots of holes in his game still, although his athleticism is sick.... I can't really see him as PG, though....
