O-Max looking good at the Rico Runs
In the latest piece by Truehoop coach Thorpe shares some observations from the pick up games. He writes:
Kenyon Martin Jr. was impressive as a pure athlete, as was Mavericks rookie Olivier-Maxence (“O-Max”) Prosper. The 22-year-old Martin Jr. and 21-year-old Prosper are going to be important players for two teams who have final-four aspirations. Said one longtime NBA coach in the UCLA student center: “I didn’t know Prosper was a rookie. I assumed he was a vet I just didn’t recognize at first after watching him play.”
I see a bigger Jae Crowder as his floor... if he can develop an outside shot. IMO, that's all that's keeping him from being a fixture in the rotation immediately.
