This is amazing to read. How can you not root for Lively and O-Max? 

I often think about what a fully advanced Lively looks like and now I'm starting to wonder what a grown up O-Max could be.  I'm really hoping for a Pascal Siakam type elevation. Both guys are around the same size. Started off with a mostly defensive profile. Look at Pascal's numbers his first few years and its not impressive. He really made a leap in year 3 at age 24 (won most improved player award).  

O-Max came into the league a year younger so i could see year 4 really being the blow up year. Exciting since we're only in the middle of year 2.

Gawd, our lives would be so much better if OMax could replace Maxi.
