MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

I am super excited about OMax.  He reminds me so much of Crowder, but longer and thinner...
Crowder (rookie year) - 6'-7", 240lbs, 6'-9" wingspan
OMax - 6'-8", 230lbs, 7'-1" wingspan

I can see OMax tremendous on switches, like Maxi.  The only thing that I can see keeping him out of the rotation this year as a flex SF-PF is his outside shot.  I hope he develops that quicker than Crowder.  I really think Crowder's rookie year is the floor for OMax...
78gms, 17.3mins, 5.0pts, 2.4rbs, 38.4%fg, 32.8%3pt, 0.8stls

I predict the following for OMax...
70gms, 18mins, 8pts, 4rbs, 45%fg, 31%3pt

So upon learning what he was going through the last 2 years, does that change the player you think we are getting??

I have a wish to see Holmes be the player he was 3 years ago, who has since been lost due to personal struggles and the acquisition of Sabonis.

Yes.  It certainly lowers my skepticism, and given my being in his shoes with false allegations and contentious custody battles, it makes me a fan for his comeback.  Unless you have gone through it, you have no idea how having your kids taken away from you with false allegations crater your life.
