Let him get that seasoning in for now, next year we’ll have the final cog this machine requires: that bonafide lockdown wing who’s big, fast, athletic, and full of energy and hustle. The Mavs are bioengineering a monster in the G-league

If he becomes the guy we want him to be he’s the perfect final piece. A big body who can switch across lots of positions and guard the best wings.

His stock numbers have been so weird to me, even in college he’d have very low stock numbers. It’s super weird, given his size, length, athleticism and effort on defense you’d expect him to get way more. Almost all guys who came over from college into NBA who turned out to be great defenders (recently) had good to great stock numbers. I wonder what the ceiling on his defensive impact truly is.
edit: Also 42.1 3P% on 5.2 3PA in 22 games. FT% looking pretty decent to at 77.8% on 2.5FTA/G. Very promising

Watched his highlights from the last game and it really looks like the game has slowed down for him. Handle seems like it’s tightened up and his job shot looks a lot cleaner. Ik it’s GLeague competition and he’s still a little raw, but he’s clearly polished up his game a bit. Would be great if he could break into the lineup next season.

Counting stats are just at the minimum you’d need to show promise for the NBA. But the efficiency is super encouraging. Just for reference, here are some notables.
JJ Barea averaged 27/5/8 on 63%TS
Pascal Siakam 18/9/3/2/2 on 61%TS
Jaden Hardy 29/5/4 on 78%TS
Obviously, he fits the profile of Siakam the most and the numbers are similar besides lower stock numbers. I still think he’s going to take another year before he can be a consistent rotation player, as it did for Siakam.

Playing in G League is the right thing for him right now.
Players like Jalen Johson or Peyton Watson had similar playing time and numbers in the NBA in their first seasons and are now important part of the rotation on their teams in 2nd and 3rd season. I think we should have the same plan for Omax. Give him more regular minutes next season and then hopefully he can be a starter in his 3rd season.

I was just about to post OMax propaganda, thank you.

Really seems like he is going to take DJJs spot next season. They will let DJJ walk since he will command a nice contract. The only way they pay DJJ is if they win a ring this year would be my guess.

Sometimes it looks like he takes too long strides when dribbling and gets out of control. I hope he can tighten that down.

O-Max at the 3 and PJ at the 4 would be nuts if O-Max comes in next year ready to contribute

Im a huge Omax believer so i really hope my feeling of him being 2 years away from being 2 years away isnt accurate. We lack his height and position defender only to contend.

Hopefully he can be comparable to what Pat Williams is by the end of the next year, would be a great replacement for Maxi
