O.J. Mayo's 69-Foot Shot
O.J. Mayo had a buzzer-beating 69-foot shot the other day in NBA summer league action. Even though he's turning out plenty of highlights, his stats are still lacking. Through five games, he's averaging 4.8 turnovers compared with just 2.6 assists. Mayo's 18.8 points in 31 minutes per game are coming against guys who probably won't make the NBA. Still, it's just for practice so take it with a grain of salt. For more about Mayo's first games as a pro, check out Steve Springer's article in today's paper.
Davon Jefferson has yet to put his sneakers on the court for the Lakers, but it's good to hear that Desmon Farmer is still keeping his dream alive. He scored six points in eleven minutes for Toronto the other day.
Washington's Nick Young has 27 points in two games. Young also has the dubious distinction of getting nine fouls in onee game. Yes, summer league operates on modified rules -- it takes 10 to foul out.
