Rookie O.J. Mayo, who plays on one of the NBA's youngest teams in Memphis, recently admitted that the young guys learn more from their opponents than their teammates.

"It's a little hard because we're all extremely young. This is a rough league for a young team," Mayo said. "We might be learning more from the opponent instead of learning from each other. But at the same time it's good because we're growing together. I feel like if we can stay together for these next two or three years, we're going to be a special team in the league."

The Grizzlies have seven players that are 23 or younger.
