The 3rd pick of the 2008 NBA Draft capped off a remarkable rookie season with another accolade. Per the Grizzlies team site...
"For the second time this season, Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo was named the NBA’s T-Mobile Western Conference Rookie of the Month (April, October/November), the NBA announced today."
After seeing his numbers tail off in the month of March (averaging 14.7 points and 2.3 rebound per game) Mayo bounced back to post a line of 20.3/3.3/3.8 while shooting 41.7% from deep in April. The concerns of those who thought he might finally be beginning to wear down as the season came to an end got a pleasant surprise as he helped lead the Grizzlies to a 5-4 record in the month, their only winning month of the year.
