O-Max has already shown more handles IN GAMES than I expected him to have, but I'm happy to hear that he's out there working on skills and caught your eye.
Did you make any observations about his physical presence? Did he seem bigger or smaller than you expected?
Bernard the Sarge James! What a throwback.
I actually really liked him in his little time here. At 27 he was a finished of a product as he could be but you could see why they liked him. Wasted pick seems a little harsh but they did miss out on guys like Draymond Green and Khris Middleton, and on the lesser side Kyle O'Quinn and our resident cow's favorite Will Barton.
While we may forever be at odds regarding THJ, I rest easy at night knowing we both are ardent defenders of OMax, 1st of his name, defender of wings, terrorizer of stars, lord in waiting.
Cannot trade him at all. Seeing him dominate in the G-League is giving me a lot of hope.
