Let me add first, I have no idea what they want Omax to focus on and I have no idea what transfers from the G-league to NBA success. Omax leaves me wanting more though. He tends to disappear on the the court and just get stuck in the corner. Then he will make a really impressive play and bully ball a player for a really nice finish. Then he disappears again. Then he makes a really impressive defensive play. Then he disappears again. He seems a little confused getting into offensive sets too. Plus, when he gets stuck in the corner. He tends to stay there and doesn't go to the ball and get it when someone has it. It is a small thing but you would really like to see him demand things more. He is playing with some former NBA players though.
He had 18 and 13 in a loss in 42 minutes. I have noticed he typically doesn't get more than 15 shots. He seems to get less than that in a lot of games. It is not just the shots though, very little of the offense goes through him. The frustrating part is if you see the highlights you will see 4,5,6,7 really good plays. There just needs to be more of good plays outside of the highlights imo.
I need to see him rip more rebounds away from guys or win the battle for rebounds.
He seems to fumble and flop around as opposed to control his body and strongly snatch a board.
I would like to see him in the G-League with specific instructions to just rebound as hard has you can and play defense as hard as you can...and see what he looks like.
As of right now...he is big, long and athletic. He can cause disruption with his size but needs to polish a few things up. He is active on finding a player to box out when a shot is put up and he is good at attacking the rim from perimeter and decent at finishing.
I want to see better boards and more staunch defense. His 3 shot is going to take a couple of years most likely.
