1. Starts with shooting form. Looks fine. Need to speed up the motion obviously. Flaw? The inward right leg when bending. When it sorts out, cash money (like his making in this game). Repetition is a must, g-league is good place to do that

  2. Boi they are not lying about 6’8 with 7’1 wingspan. Even when he got beat, he can contested 3s nicely

  3. Love to crash the offensive glass after shot

  4. Still playing in flow of the game. Not much unecessary extra role that he doesnt need to contribute for mavs. Occasional drives if open. Overall good role player mindset. His defense took a hit a bit in 1st half because he shooting poorly. But he recovers in 2nd half

That’s it i think

PS : JJax and Pinson vets in this team. Make sure Omax get his shots. Plays in flow of the game, not like others that still want to have another shot in nba. Definitely future texas legends asst.coach / player development especially JJax lmao

Edit : oh forgot, he played small ball center A LOT. I think there’s another mavs vision for him

    On the small ball part - during the preseason, there was a vid of post defense with TC. OMax was running with the bigs in that video. I think Holmes, Maxi, Lively, OMax.

    I watched the 4th Q when the lead evaporated and saw some terrible basketball. Anyway, OMax didn’t really come in until the lead was almost gone. And by that point, Theo was trying to will them to a victory so he didn’t get much of a feature in the offense. So, thanks for this!

    OMax started 1/9, then went ~5/6 for 15 pts in the 3rd quarter alone. It was nice to see some shots starting to fall for him, including 3 threes.

    It’s crystal clear, to me at least, that OMax needs LOTS of G-league reps and should stay with the Legends – there’s plenty of stuff for him to work on. Until he starts hitting 3s with some consistency and confidence there, I don’t think it makes sense for him to go to the Mavs – he really needs reps just to settle in and get some confidence.
