There is a definite case for Mayo. He is quick, strong, and has some of the best body control around. Though may I remind you; the previous O.J to attend USC is an ex-wife murdering hot-head with an insatiable lust for blood. May this O.J exercise sound anger management. Go Mayo!

Hey, am I the only one who finds the fact that the Bulls — who occupy the league's third biggest media market and were home to its biggest star ever — got the top pick, despite having the some of the shittiest odds among all the teams in the lottery? Them getting the first pick the year one of their native sons is supposed to be taken with that pick is just too fishy. And it's not like they do a "live lottery," where we see the balls swirl around and they get plucked live. That whole system is ripe for manipulation.

The better conspiracy would've been to let the Knicks have the first pick so Mike D'Antoni would have a point guard to run his system in the league's biggest media market. I generally don't buy the conspiracy talk with the lottery (why would they have given Portland and Seattle picks one and two last year?) but you're right that it's pretty convenient for the Bulls to get the top pick the year Rose is in it.
