O.J. Mayo is an important piece of the puzzle for the Milwaukee Bucks this season. Mayo (or Juice, as he’s affectionately called) is the main veteran leader in Milwaukee’s locker room. And aside from a few flashes of immaturity earlier in the season, he’s been a good voice for the younger guys on this team to look up to.
That’s important, and valuable. Many people have attributed the Bucks struggles this season to the lack of veteran leaders, and although Juice alone hasn’t been able to make up for the loss of some three veteran voices, he’s tried.
