    What's up with Mike Conley? He showed flashes last year and this season he's been nothing short of disappointing. One thing that sticks out, from my point of view, is he cannot finish at the rim! It's exactly what annoyed me about Sebastian Telfair. He has good quickness and court vision, he's young, he has at least that going for him.

    Conley's biggest weakness is the same as Sergio's - he doesn't have a reliable jump shot. So, opposing defenses just sag off him, play the passing lanes, deny the penetration and DARE him to shoot.

    He's much more athletic than Telfair. He SHOULD be able to finish (ala Bayless).

    Speaking of Memphis, Sergio Rodriguez would flourish in that system.

    It's all moot in my point, Mayo should be playing the 1.

    He seems to be doing rather well playing the 2. He had 33 tonight and 31 last night.

    I agree he is doing great, but he could be the best 1 the team has to offer. I think he could play both positions quite well, ala a Gilbert Arenas type

    hells yes. Look for them to add a passable 2 guard in the not too distant future and make him at least a combo guard
    dude is good... I'm with him thinking his best pro position is the 1 though

    Nate really like Sessions last year before the draft - but then the entire Rudy Fernandez thing happened... ;)

    Mayo is 6'4" i believe. He is a tall PG (Gary Payton is that height). He needs to play the 1
