Coming out of Collage is was really excited to see this guy play and he had a great rookie season.. But ever since then he has been declining and is now having his worst season so far. Is there a reason he is coming off the bench and taking a minute cut?

I think its because he is a very selfish player and doesnt play in the system. He sucks, do not want.
He was doing alright until Zach Randolph came back this year. Rudy's game took a hit too when that happened.
I'd want him as a 6th man Yao's trade exception plus Battier for him and Thabeet! Adelman would know how to play him, he'd be like a better Von Wafer. Same height, driving ability, difference? OJ's just better all around. Martin/Mayo combo!
It would be redundant with Martin, Lee, Budinger, and now Williams here... Doesn't matter how many scorers you have, there is only one ball.
In a way, he's been decling ever since his junior year in high school when he was the next Lebron James.
No It wouldn't he isn't just a scorer but is capable of being a facilitator as well, and is a better two way player than Martin and Lee... He also has a much friendlier contract than Martin...
I don't know if it is because his beard is not the same as it once was, he looks sick and really skinny to me..
the grizzlies fans i know on other message boards say him and the coach dont get along so hollins put him on the bench and oj is a team player according to those same fans.
