OMax played yesterday, horrible shooting from the field 30% FG%, but filled the stat sheet 19/9/4/1/1 with 5 offensive boards.

Here is one highlight:

This is advertised as a highlight, but it's actually a bad play, he gave up dribble penetration w/o a screen even, NBA level guard would score easily here.
He should continue working there, refine his shot, practice his defensive instincts to utilize his great frame.
AJ Lawson had a great game 26/7/2/1/1 on great shooting...

Lawson could be a good role player from the bench but he is short...

A lot of those misses are from offensive rebound put backs that eventually went in but it took a few tip ins to get there.

I get the urge to give OMax NBA level reps, but Lawson could definitely be a bigger help to this team this year than him. Keep OMP in the G-League and elevate Lawson.

I see no value that Lawson can add at his position which is the 2/3. We need people that can player the bigger positions and he's unfortunately way too short and slim for that.
