I don't see Omax being a rotation player next year. I hope he turns into everything people think he can, but he's a project. A guy that raw isn't going to be a rotation piece on the defending Western Conference champs. It's just unrealistic.  I know it's fun to root for the guy, but we also need to be realistic.

Thank goodness Kidd wasn't "realistic" about Lively. Had he been a little less realistic about OMax, the latter might be quite a bit farther a long now - unless one believes that all of his growth and advancement last year was due to the G league.
