It’s never too early to make wild predictions, so FoxSports has published an article discussing prospects for the 2008 NBA draft, one year in advance. Unsurprisingly, a great deal of attention is paid to incoming Trojan freshman guard OJ Mayo. Says one anonymous NBA scout interviewed for the story:

“He’s really gifted… but he needs to make the commitment to playing great defense and not trying to be spectacular on every play on offense. Although he’s a good-not-great athlete, he still can dominate at both ends without making every possession a one-on-one battle.”
