    Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo is working hard this offseason in hopes of improving his skills as a point guard.

    "I'm not scared to say that I'm not the best point guard right now," said Mayo. "I'm probably horrible right now mainly because I haven't played with the ball in three years. But I think through repetition I can be good."

    Memphis coaches and executives spent Tuesday morning evaluating point guard prospects they could consider with their late-first round picks.

    "I've been telling some of the guys on the team that I'm not going to be a perfect point guard right away," Mayo said. "But I think I'll get better. I just have to have the opportunity. I'm not trying to step on the heels of Mike Conley. I just want to get better so I can stay on the floor."

    Mayo confirmed that he will play in the team's first two summer league games in Las Vegas to hone his skills.
