Southern Cal’s O.J. Mayo doesn’t figure to drop much past No. 3 (Minnesota). GMs love his NBA-ready body, skill level and mind-set to take over at the end of games. And they’re also always impressed by someone who was getting paid in the ninth grade.
With all that said, Minnesota could use a reliable point guard to complement Jefferson and Foye for next season.

Augustin’s size (5’11) could effect his stock as a top three player, but Minnesota could benefit from drafting him.
