Omax has the desirable length and effort...he needs to be sat down and shown videos of Jaden McDaniels and Alex Caruso.
Omax turns is hips and body too soon instead of sliding his body gradually with the ball handler. Omax gives too much effort, causing his energy move 4ft past the ball carrier if the ball carrier changes directions. Green has the same problem.
They need to be shown videos of higher level defenders. Green stays in front of his guy correctly but his energy screws him. Omax has good defensive energy but turns his hips and body too soon. McDaniels is the perfect mentor. Stay perpendicular to the ball handler, dont turn your hips or body too soon. Green and OMax are pigs to be taken advantage of by the likes of veterans like Steph Curry. Their overabundance of energy prevents them from changing directions. Their directions continue for 3 feet more than they should because of their energy while the ball handler has changed directions and completed a jump shot with 4ft of room.
Green and Omax can be elite defensively if they slow down, slide and stay perpendicular with the ball handler. Both are giving too much room for ball handlers to quickly change direction, create space and make an easy jump shot.
The potential is there. Show them McDanial and Caruso film.
Notice....McDanial is even more elite becuase he doesnt make stupid slaps at the ball that refs call fouls on(Caruso is elite at it though) and uses straight up perfect perpendicular defense to combat his opponents.
Stay perpendicular to the ball handler and dont bite on fakes and youre money.
The Mavs have a safant in staying in front of the ball carrier at their dispense in Devon Harris. How are they not asking him for advice. They guy was amazing at staying in front of his ball carrier. Makes no sense.
These guys need to slow down, slide at correct angle accordingly and no bite on fakes.
