I would hazard a guess this pertains to Omax at the combine.   Confirming that OMax has NBA athleticism.

"Olivier Maxence-Prosper has been the biggest standout player for me so far very early into day 1 of the Combine

Hasn't made a single glaring mistake in any drill or 3 on 3"

The more I think about it, the more I wonder why people are so much higher on Andre Jackson over O-Max. O-Max is just as athletic, switchable defender, and a much better offensive player.

Andre Jackson has ball handling ability.

OMax is currently 2nd in Vertical at the combine though with 40.5 inches. Tied with Cam Whitmore.

Jackson at 39.5 just below them.

Yea, true.... but if I already have a star. I would probably rather have Omax for my NBA team.

And that's coming from me, and i think that that Andre Jackson might have been UConns best player last year.

Omax is just easier to pick to fill the role expected from him.

O-Max is #37 on The Athletic’s top 100 draft board.

You know, almost every year we go through this - someone declaring early or “testing the waters” and many Scoopers are all “he’d develop more if he stayed another year.”  Nuts to that. Fans say that because we desperately want him to ply his talents for our team one more year.

I say if he finds a way to get paid, I’m really happy for him.

At this point,  I think it's more likely that OMax goes in the first round than he doesn't get drafted. Been saying it since last season, OMax has the tools that the NBA lusts after

I do not.

Who is the last college basketball player that has appeared in under 10% of Draft Boards at all following a season, who then gets drafted in the first round?

The NBA Combine measurements are not the same as the NFL Combine measurements. They’re certainly helping OMax, but if he doesn't stand out in the scrimmages and team workouts it won’t mean that much.

Have an increasing feeling OMax gets drafted compared to recent undrafted early entrants Justin Lewis and Vander Blue. His athletic testing was great. Though I was very confident Lewis would get picked last year too.

Yeah my post was a little hyperbolic. Just trying to convey the confidence I have in OMax getting drafted
