Primarily, our coverage here will focus on the City of Seattle’s attempt to bring the NBA back to Seattle.

Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007
Posted by Eric Williams @ 08:29:11 am

Two highly touted freshman guards will play against each other tonight as Memphis and Southern California square off at Madison Square Garden. The game will be televised on ESPN at 6:30 p.m.

The game pits Memphis freshman Derrick Rose and Southern California freshman O.J. Mayo. Both are expected to declare themselves eligible for the draft come June. And with the Sonics uncertainty at point guard, both should be potential draft candidates for Seattle as the team appears headed for another lottery pick.

The two guards are both different in personality and ability, as explained in this preview story on the game from the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Rose is an athletic, soft spoken guard that likes to distribute. Mayo is the attention grabber that can fill it up from anywhere on the floor.

If you have time to watch the game tonight check it out, or at least record it for later.

But lets be clear, the only reason the Sonics should take Mayo is if they're definately moving to Oklahoma. The kid is poison. Rose would be perfect for the club. Mayo would be a dager in the back...

I guess you Eric are bailing on Ridnour too!

Please no OJ Mayo. Haven't had a chance to see Rose, but I hear has good floor vision.
