    Coming out of Collage is was really excited to see this guy play and he had a great rookie season..

    But ever since then he has been declining and is now having his worst season so far.

    Is there a reason he is coming off the bench and taking a minute cut?

    I think its because he is a very selfish player and doesnt play in the system. He sucks, do not want.

    Even in NBA 2k11 he doesn't like to pass the ball and shoots up bricks

    They are putting him in a 6th man role like JR Smith, Jason Terry, and Ginobili a little while ago.

    Bad organization, bad coach, and coming off-the bench.

    He was doing alright until Zach Randolph came back this year. Rudy's game took a hit too when that happened.

    I'd want him as a 6th man

    Yao's trade exception plus Battier for him and Thabeet!
    Adelman would know how to play him, he'd be like a better Von Wafer. Same height, driving ability, difference? OJ's just better all around.

    Martin/Mayo combo!

    Although it would be redundant with Ler here

    It would be redundant with Martin, Lee, Budinger, and now Williams here...
    Doesn't matter how many scorers you have, there is only one ball.

    In a way, he's been decling ever since his junior year in high school when he was the next Lebron James.

    No It wouldn't he isn't just a scorer but is capable of being a facilitator as well, and is a better two way player than Martin and Lee... He also has a much friendlier contract than Martin...

    I don't know if it is because his beard is not the same as it once was, he looks sick and really skinny to me..

    the grizzlies fans i know on other message boards say him and the coach dont get along so hollins put him on the bench and oj is a team player according to those same fans.

    Makes more of an impact now coming off the bench than he did in college. Just sayin...
