If you talking hype Batmon, Andrew Wiggins is who you're talking about. Not OJ Mayo.....
I've only watched clips on youtube, but dude certainly has freakish abilities. His lankiness reminds me of KG and Durant....but from the clips, his game so far seems closer to Amare Stoudamire. Still a long way to go, but he definitely has an intriguing skill set...He's from Canada too...

This might be a really interesting season. I'm calling it now: The Celtics without Pierce&Garnett; will do better than the Nets with them two.
Will Andrew Bynum play this year?? No
Will Dwight stick around in Houston for a good while ? No
Will the Heat win it all again? Yes.
The return of Rose as well makes stuff interesting...... Looking forward to this, the preseason games have been quite amusing so far. Go Lakers! Oh no, wait. I meant Clippers.
The recaps on nba.com are not bad! They're usually about 2-3 minutes long, for every game, the day after, and then there's some seperate highlights as well. They go by very quickly, but they are quite good. Although sometimes a little biased.
Let the Wiggins sweepstakes begin.
Kobe will retire after this year.
D'antoni will last 1/2 a season, Karl will be his replacement
In non-LA news
Melo fallout with knicks is coming and there will be a mid season trade
Philly will have the worst season in its history
Man, I don't think this dude's body will hold up over his career.....
I mean Allen Iverson was wreckless when driving to the rack, but this dude puts like twice as much pressure on his knees and ankles. He is THAT explosive. I'd like to see him and Chicago be the contenders that they were again though.
Seeing Miami win 3 times in a row is about as memorable and exciting as yesterday's news.
My predictions this year:
Heat for the 3-peat...in relatively boring fashion.
Jason Kidd will be an ineffective head coach and will constantly have to field questions like "Do you wish you could be on the court right now?...Is it hard making the adjustment to coach when you see angles you'd take as a player...blahblahblahblah"
Dwight Howard will continue his reign as the league child with all the potential in the world but the inability to do much with it.
The Miami Heat WILL bring the best out of Michael Beasley...if and ONLY IF that dude can steer clear of coke and partying during his second stint in Miami. I've always felt like dude could be a beast. Then again with tat's like "SuperCoolBeas" and "God's Son"...I dunno...Dwight Howard might have a better chance of growing up.
