damn. brings back memories. i remember when they said some 8th grader showed up OJ Mayo at the ABCD camp. i thought Mayo had next. I underestimated the importance of measureables at the next level. Mayo simply did grow which is why he's irrelevant in the league now.

mayo is 6'4
the reason why he's irrelevant is because he was never that good
being held back for two years is a big advantage in high school
damn near everybody on that aau squad was not in the right class

6'4" with a 6'6" wingspan are less than ideal attributes for a star 2-guard. if he was 6'6" with a 6'11" wingspan he'd be an all-star. he a decent not great athleticism. and always had a nice jump shot. he's not very good because he can't finish in the paint over length. with more ideal attributes he'd be better at that.

physical attributes matter. most of the time its what makes the difference between someone being average or great.
