I think it's pretty difficult to say because both are compelling candidates. OJ is the better shooter and moves better without the ball BUT Rodney has much more experience being the primary ballhandler AND has a better midrange game. Rodney has a very good post game and is better at finishing around the basket BUT Mayo is better at breaking his man down and getting to the basket. Mayo is an excellent defender at either guard spot BUT Rodney Stuckey is also AND his strength allows him to cover players that are several inches bigger than him. OJ Mayo has better star potential BUT the triangle has never made a star out of a PG, which makes Stuckey far more likely to succeed with his "blue collar" attitude. OJ Mayo is the better passer and at setting up teammates but the triangle doesn't emphasize this quality for its PGs. I feel like I could go on and on but you guys get the point. So which is it?

High IQ AND DEFENSE. Jimmer lacks both

Nevermind Mayo & Stuckey


Have you actually seen Mayo play. I've never heard of a scouting report that described him as having low IQ. Funky attitude? Sure. Tweener? Absolutely. Poor explosion? Unfortunately. But poor IQ? Never. Dude is a fundamentally sound and bright player, which has been his M.O. since coming out of college.
