Yeah, its even tough for me to do _FENCING on behalf of Omari.

His 7 min yesterday should've gone to Nigel. Nigel is the kind of defensive liability, but at least he can score.

Omari needs to shoot more bank shot 3's. He's good at it.

Meh.

There were two different instances yesterday in which EMAPE went up for a left handed layup only to hit the ball on the bottom of the backboard and lose control before it had a chance to touch the glass.

Omari's decision tree for shooting:

#1. Am I shooting a wide open layup or dunk? If yes, continue. Otherwise move to #2.

#2. Is the shot clock below 5 seconds? If yes, throw up a prayer and hope we can get the RB. Otherwise, move to #3.

#3. PASS THE BALL TO SOMEONE ELSE.

Omari is terrifying when he plays because he has the athletic deficiencies of someone like Spradling but tries to model his game after a Foster esque slasher/shooter, which often results in the the embarrassing massive blocks/ball into the underside of the backboard type plays that everyone's referring to.

The nice thing is we did play Foster at the 3 for 15-16 minutes y-day. Westicles and Omari combined for only 24 minutes. Shane and Nino were in together very briefly as they combined for 41 minutes.

With Thomas now in the fold, Foster is gonna have to play some 3. 80 minutes is not enough for our 2 starting guards plus Jevon and Nigel off the bench. Omari is only 6'3. Him being in there (defensive size and rebounding reasons) is not really any better than having the 6'2 Foster logging some minutes at the SF spot. That's my thought anyway

You know when Blake Griffin had that huge dunk over Pau Gasol and the announcer was all "oh me, oh my!" Well, secretly I've been wanting Omari to throw down a monster jam and I was going to say "oh me, omari!" Not looking good though.

he seems very unexplosive as an athlete

sunny_cat · « **Reply #12 on:** January 06, 2014, 12:02:21 AM »

He's fine. He should be getting some minutes. Definitely not a lot.

Omari couldn't GAF last night. His passes, hands, and shots were all sloppy AF.

Talk is over due.

I really do root for the little guy, but he just doesn't have "it"

sunny_cat · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2014, 11:03:34 AM »

He's one of the worst players on the team. Still should get some minutes.

Unfortunately for Nino, his minutes correlate with Shane's.

Of course when Gip and DJamer get into foul trouble Saturday, Nino willl be out there trying to contend with Ellis and Embiid for 15-20 minutes at the 5.

I don't think so. I don't follow too many players though. I think those days are in the past (Cloud County days).
