MAVS NEWS:

That is just terrible luck for the kid.  The last 20 games he probably had a real good chance to play at least 20 minutes a game.   He may not get the long leash again.  It would have given him a real good shot to gain some trust in the coaching staff.  Poof that is gone and he appears to be stuck out of the rotation next year.

He was one of my main reasons for having interest in the games.  I wanted to see if he made any progress with consistent minutes.   He is just so far away from being a NBA rotation player.   I was hoping the minutes would help expedite his development.

Yeah it’s tough. OMax is so likable and he’s a hard worker. It’s evident whenever he plays he goes 110% every time. But in terms of actual skill, he just isn’t there. At least isn’t at the level of a proper rotation player.

If the Mavs are serious about trying to “win now” then I expect OMax’s time is starting to run out.
