I hope he plays well and gets a real shot in the reg season. If O-Max is ready, our rotation will look way better.
Hope so also 🫡
Totally agree. Naji, Grimes, Exum, PJ and OMax need to be dogs on the D side of the ball. If they as a group can hit open 3's at +35% look out.
Was so hoping we would land Curiso and pie in the sky LM from Jazz. But we did get better. Now let's get Luka healthy. Offense 90% Luka, Irving, Klay, Liv, Naji, Grimes, Hardy & PJ. Defense focus: PJ, Grimes, Naji, OMax, Liv, Gafford, Maxi & Exum. Just looks like Powell and Morris just doesn't bring anything to the court for production. Lawson give him opportunity in G league and early season if he's productive keep him if not trade him at dead line for backup point if we don't find one now.
@@user-bs8zt2gq1pdo
@@user-bs8zt2gq1p washed up lay-up line maxi misalot is still letting all 5 positions blow by him lol
The Mavs lineup is stacking in depth . We might just run the league now !!!!
Real
Omax was always going to be a project. SL should allow to show his progress.
We really need OMax to fill the role of Maxi, hopefully he can first be a lock down defender, second hit 3 around 35% and play with great energy. With Grimmes, Exum, Naji, PJ and OMax hopefully they will all embrace a hardcore D dog attitude on the D side for covering point of attack and the best 3D wings in the league. The have Liv, Gafford and unfortunately Powell and Maxi as the 3rd and 4th backup center behind Liv and Gafford.
He already fills Maxi's role. We just need infant Kidd to be a real coach for a change and give him minutes. Its painful watching Maxi's flat shot so the sooner the better! Plus Maxi is always injured anyways so whays the point
@@highimwolf well said
@@highimwolf Kidd is a good coach, look what he did with Lively. He’s taking it slowly, OMax wasn’t ready to just be thrown in there with high expectations. Let him grow.
He has so much potential he has to be given more minutes… him and Hardy.
Having ”homegrown” players in a championship team is very important.
Yeah very true but they are hoping that hardy has a year 3 Green like impact season. And they will be lucky if Omax does next year as well.
Both Hardy (can be a much better shooter) and Omax has potential to be a more impactful player than Green. But odds are 50/50 at best it happens.
That's why I'm leaning toward just signing the Flynn point guard who was never heard of before his 50 point game. Apparently he's a pretty good 3rd ball handler and he won't be whining or jealous when he doesn't get much playing time(most probably). This then gives those minutes that Dinwiddie(not DSJ) would be getting to Hardy. Then they "Can Find Out" by the TDL if he's a rotation guy or not.
Omax has to show improvement. can't have those dear in the headlights driving 110 MPH to the basket, not knowing what to do with it once there. Turn it over usually.
But he has the hustle and want too. And supposed to have the ability. So it might take longer but might be well worth the wait. But he still has to show improvement over last year or he's out the door. No excuse to come back with those dear in the headlights. which Hardy was a straight up drive and lay it up or get it blocked guy his first season, he learned to pass it instead of dumbly getting blocked half the time. So I expect at least that much improvement.
O-Max Prosper has me excited to see his game and role with the Dallas Mavericks do as his name states-“Prosper”!
Lets Go Mavs! Like to see how O-Max can run with summer league and grow from it.
"Give Him What He Wants" 🎉🎉🎉🎉 O-Max
not even seen the video yet, but YES o-max is ready!!
20:59 I was married in 1997. My daughter was born in 2000. The first time I realized how bleeping old I was, is when I went to the park to play pick up basketball and all the guys I was playing with said they were born in 1989. 😮 That's the year I graduated from HS. 🙄 I was in my latter 30s at the time.
@SuperB1971 My God.....I'm so sorry. I'll pray for you 🙏
His efficiency in the G was great to see. Hoping that Miller shows out as well.
I know it's easier to do corner 3's, but do you think O-Max should work on "above the break" 3s? I know it's further out, but the Celtics covered the corners and few guys are good at those longer distance 3s.
thanks for your hustle every day!!
If O max can be another DJJ our roster is top three in the league!
Go O-Max!
He ain't ready. But the only way he ever gets ready is playing time
Sounds like OMax is a project. There was debate about Lively and OMax and who would make rotation first. Lively has already left his impression in the playoffs and rode it to all the way to finals.
Is O-Max really 6'7? He does look taller. Mavs needed a 6'9-ish that could defend and shoot to replace Kleber. Sure, D-Live might start shooting the 3 more but even so, Mavs need another one.
dude has a 7’1 wingspan, 8’8 standing reach and with a 40” vert. what more can you ask for?
Dallas found a 7'5 player in Jamarion Sharp
@@Text_Bookhe went undrafted. You shouldn’t be putting any stock into him.
why he's atletic big..... he can match wemby if lively and gafford in foul trouble
@@zeushualde5627 he’s undrafted. He could be good but I wouldn’t expect much.
I love O-Max and will love him for the rest of his career
The way it is with the rookie/young player conveyor belt, is that if you can't crack the rotation by the third summer league, you are now just blocking the path of the players next in line. With the Mavs making it to the NBA finals, that bar is now meaningful minutes in the playoffs. Is Jaden Hardy going to be in the summer league? He is also on the clock. If O-Max and Melvin outshine Hardy and Lawson in the summer league, the latters' Mavs futures will be thrown into jeopardy.
Hardy’s not listed on the summer league roster.
Nick watch out on Jamarion Sharp 😁
He is not for NBA bro
I love him already
Not as convinced about OMax as I was when Drafted. It's kinda now, or never for the dude.
I think he could become a Danny green type
Omar has a bright future, always looking to root for a hard worker with the right attitude!
Wb the 7’5 rookie from ole miss? He seems like a great rim protector, very good defender, high iq and can pass…. It wouldn’t hurt to have 2 Lively’ on the roster, even if it takes a lil time to devlop
If he develops an average or above average corner 3, he could easily be better than DFS was.
I find it unfair that Exum fell off the rotation, he was really good for us for the most part of the season.
OMAXXXX💪🏻🔥💙
Ah, sweet, some of the summer league games are on EU friendly times.
I thought omax was 6'8 with a 7'2 wingspan. That's what I remembered hearing when they were drafting him
Hey Nick,
A podcaster attributes Melvin's 2nd round grade out due to his short reach (6'7" wingspan), and that, if it were better, he would have been a top 15 pick. What do you think? Wait and see?
No way to tell. Just don't go the Hardy Party thing prematurely again. I thought Hardy was straight THJ chucker when the party was going on(and that's all he really was)
But I seen him improve his overall game so maybe next season the hardy party can actually commence. But it's a 50/50 shot at best. Which is fine enough numbers for me. But yeah def not something that allows a mind to pretend it's already reality. Only Hot Tub time Machines can get you those answers.
Omax looks like Elgin Baylor , it’s kinda scary.. google Elgin Baylor next to a picture of Omax 😅
Ayy, what about the 7'4 Sharp tho? We could use him instead of Powell
can we keep Melvin and send super Dwight and lay-up line maxi misalot to Europe, the team would be better
If he’s getting 10 MPG in the regular season, that’s a good benchmark for him to get.
If he gets 10 MPG in the playoffs, he’s surpassed expectations.
I love his confidence he might just be a dog in nba this season I hope he takes that leap🔥🙏🏾
Anything
Omax needs and is worth developing…Hardy is another case. Don’t think Hardy’s mental maturity is ready to be a rotation player on a championship contending team. Don’t know if he’ll ever be ready. Physically he has it.
He will have to earn his minutes like Lively. He will earn them on the defensive end like Doe and other wings in the league early in his career.
OMax seems to have an unusually rough gait for a basketball player. Not a smooth gait like star players. Hope it ultimately translates into an asset for him and not a detriment.
He should take kleiber minutes early part of the season , allow him to make mistakes and learn from it, that's the only way to unluck his potentials
Is OMax ready? More like is Kidd ready to be a real coach and play their best defender? OMax just needs minutes to develop
Especially at the beginning of the season, O max should get ALL Maxi’s minutes
Maxi should be the third string PF, hanging out in the bench with his buddy Dwight
All the walls Nick.. and maybe some fences and other upright barriers
Yeah this is the year Lawson has to show something, Dudley summed it up perfectly
Super athletic, thinly built, not a good shooter. But Uber athletic
I am a fan of OMax but dude needs to hit the weights. Being fit as he looks is great but dude has no shoulders. To be a good defender he needs some muscle mass at his position.
AJ is much like O-Max. Great length but not built strong enough. These dudes need to pound protein and carbs and pound the weights.
Just waive him
🦝🦝🦝
All of the mavs fans who are acting like maxi sucks just get me so mad. They’re just so annoying lol. They just look at box score and think that’s all that matters. It’s not like maxi was apart of the best lineup for the mavs last year or anything
It's nice that so many of the podcasters can get a sponsor due to companies like Fanduel. Then you think about the fact that it's a company that makes it's profits by conning people who can't afford to lose money into losing their money. Then it gives that money to podcasters to recruit a new crop of suckers to lose their money.
Hard pass.....
DJJ defense overrated, not enough to offset the lack of offense. Can’t hit 3s consistently, and when he attacks, doesn’t have the midrange short jumper or floaters, everything to the rim challenging bigs and getting stuffed. So disappointing. You see opponents like Shari or da fox stop and get automatic 2, it was frustrating to watch.
He is the reason they moved on from Derek Jones jr i believe 💯🫡
I can’t be the only person who isn’t sold on this o Max idea right?
Depends on what you mean by sold. Am I 100% sure OMax can develop and be a good NBA player? Definitely not.
But I think in terms of guys who in “theory” could be a great fit with Luka, he could be that. Rangey 6-8ish forward who can switch everything, knock down an open shot, etc. basically can he become PJ Washington-esque with even more defensive potential
Nah he is not he still looks lost out there as soon as he realize it is a real NBA game
Mavs fans need a reality check… O-Max is not playing next season, nor should he. Hardy is going into his 3rd year and he still hasn’t proven he deserves or can handle consistent meaningful mins. Last season O-Max didn’t even look like a real NBA player in garbage mins against other garbage min players. Expecting him to go from that to getting rotation mins is asking to be disappointed.
Oh no! How dare we be hopeful our 21-22 year old 2nd year player improves and potentially play 10 or so minutes a game! We must need a reality check!
they all are already better than super Dwight and lay-up line maxi misalot
@@WSquaredSports being hopeful that it happens is not the same that as expecting it to happen. I am hopeful that 1 day I will win the lotto, but that doesn’t mean I expect it when I get the ticket. If you’re expecting the 21-22 year old 2nd year player to make that big of a leap.. than yes you need a reality check
@@Dzad00 I mean, I think the general vibe of the whole video is that it’s hopeful. No one is expecting him to be awesome or a sure thing. The video with Reggie the other day they were chatting about how there’s a solid chance OMax isn’t in the rotation at all.
Basically giving up on the kid is kinda crazy though. Guys don’t play much their rookie year and turn into solid and great NBA players pretty frequently ex: Alex Caruso, Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Derrick White, etc.
@@richardcase9165 Well if you think O-Max is better than DP and Maxi bc they mis a lot in layup lines, than you must think O-Max is also better than Luka since he misses a lot too bc all he does he trick shots
Nah let's be real here, he will still not gonna get a spot in the regular rotation this year. You guys should not get your hopes high.
Hope he really pans out, we have high expectations from him
