Very excited for Grizz
I must admit, I was the first to post on this board over a month ago that OJ would be a grizz. I believe that he is the dwane Wade of this draft and will ultimately be the 2nd best player, behind Rose, to come out of this draft. A year ago many were projecting him to be #1 this year. I have no doubt that we hit a grandslam with this pick. Also, I know that we are all very partial to Rose, we must now side with May, despite the known rivalry with these two. OJ now belongs to Memphis, Rose is gone. OJ out played Rose in High School, and they were both subpar in the head to head matchup in New York. I do know that Rose will be the best in the long run, but OJ is going to be an All-Star, and maybe even the rookie of the year.

Balderdash. Rose CHOSE to play for a Memphis team. Mayo's getting paid to play for a Memphis team. Rose is still a Tiger.
I'll choose to side with whomever I so please, thank you very much. And I'll always choose the guy that busted his butt, reached deep into his gut, dripped sweat, and spilled blood by his OWN choice for my Memphis Tigers.
