Omax has a lot of refining to do...but he seems to have polished up his game just from the start of season until his last game with Mavs.
He looked like two things to start the season...a chicken with its head cut off(him lost and just running around on defense) and Bambi(just wild uncoordinated body).
Maybe it was running with less organized 3rd teamers early on that made him look bad...I dont know. But he seems to look better playing with 1st and 2nd string guys on the court. He looks less lost and seems to be figuring the defensive assignments out compared to first few games. Maybe he was out of shape...but he doesnt look as wild body movement wise and he doesnt look like hes running with shoes 3 sizes too big anymore.
I am reluctant to give up on this dude so early. His size and athleticism...plus his desire to attack the rim with ball have me intrigued. I think he eventually figures the defensive footwork stuff out and turns into a problematic defender...and then his aggressiveness to attack the rim with ball(he has a few tricks in his bag around the rim)....Im not trading this dude if I dont have to. Dont get me wrong...he is raw and needs refinement.
Siakam was 5 for 6 from 3 last night, though.
