The thing I like most about Lively (and Prosper) is both have the skill sets where they will find ways to help teams win without worrying about points. Several years ago, Michael Lewis had an article on Battier titled the No Stats all star. I sort of envision this type of title for both Lively and Omax...hopefully with a little more stats though
Not trying to be rude...not saying you said anything Homerish about OMax...
But can anyone give an objective analysis of his few minutes in real NBA games thus far.
My eye tells me there is a lot of sloppiness. I get it...hes young and needs to learn the schemes. My eye could be wrong...I am a huge cheerleader for this kid but my eye is telling me to tap the breaks due to a lot of sloppiness. He, no doubt, has time to figure it out...but I am concerned based on my belief that a lot of other young players coming into the league have a lot more body control than he does. I am rooting for him...Mavs could use his size and motor on defense...I am concerned about my untrained eye telling me he is too wild on the court. An easier way to say what I am trying to say it...seems like there is a lot to polish up. Not saying it cant be done....just that there is a lot to polish compared to others. Im 100% team OMax though.
