Foye: going to be a very good player, but I am not sold on his ability to be a real PG. And if there is one thing I"ve noticed, it's that not a lot of guys finally turn into PGs at the NBA level. A few might, but a lot reach that awkward combo status at best. So while Foye may be a nice passer and handler from the SG spot, does that mean he'll take charge of a team as a legit PG? As a guy like Doc Rivers...(who bounced back and forth often)

Jaric: I actually like him. But he's not a legit starting PG at this level, and is better equipped to be a utility point forward.

Buckner: ahahaha.

So if you get a shot at a real PG, take it. But Mayo isn't a real PG, he's a guy who can play PG. I'm not sure, with his scoring mentality, he's the guy.
sorta why im so keen to get him here... he and Foye are both Scoring Guards who have point guard skills in there too, with 2 guys having not only the ability to score 20+ on a night but also run the offense this team would be dangerous
