Love it.

For those who don't want to click the link: Shaka is going to the draft to see O-Max get picked.

[Uncle Rico]

Totally O-Max's fault for not choosing a dentist with a track record of sending patients to the NBA.

Another dark day awaits Marquette basketball tomorrow night, I'm afraid.

[Jay Bee]

29% of Scoopers have voted that OMax will not be a first rounder (I'm not included in that population, but am nervous)

WTF is this Mr. Technicality and numbers nerd?  28.82%.

Hopefully we don't add "The Green Room" to entities that hate Marquette.

[Herman Cain]

The recruiting value of O'Max being drafted is excellent for MU. Shaka doing a good job of getting his recruits into The Association is very helpful to MU's Cause.

[GoldenEagles03]

The NBA champ Nuggets just traded for picks 29 and 32 in tomorrow's draft.

Nothing is ever guaranteed

But its sounding more and more likely hes gotten a few firm answers from teams to take him in the 1st round

[Skip Intro]

Especially with his wingspan and leaping ability. Like you, I love blocking shots ... but more so bc my vert is about 2 inches (my VERT). If I could leap out of the building and had a crazy large wingspan, I'd be salivating looking to swat

I wonder if he was coached to NOT go for blocks?  Maybe he had a tendency to bite on shot fakes, so he was told to keep his feet on the floor on close-outs?  That'd make him a better overall defender (he's not whiffing), but obviously keeps the block stats low. 

I'll admit I haven't watched clips to help prove/disprove this theory.  Maybe he's actually going for blocks and just takes bad angles, etc. 

[Uncle Rico]

After OMax isn't drafted tomorrow in the lottery, only one question remains.

Should Marquette move its campus to Nashville or Janesville?

Canadians are just too nice to block shots

[JakeBarnes]

It's why I voted undrafted

I think he'll get relegated to the Blue Room by the middle of the draft.

"Green Weenie Room", aina?

[We R Final Four]

"Green Weenie Room", aina?

Omax, Shaka, and Jay Bee will be there.
Jay Bee will be the only one excited however.

Bam??  Who is Finkelstein?

[Herman Cain]

Omax and Sam could be on the same squad next season.....

That would be excellent.  He'd get a first class lesson is leadership

I also voted 2nd round. I just believe potential draft picks are overpromised on where they will be drafted.

[MuggsyB]

It sounds to me like he could go top 20.  Would you take him ahead of Jordan Hawkins?

yes.... who on earth will Jordan Hawkins guard in an NBA playoff game?

From the article: "  It should be noted, of course, that OMP, as he is known , worked out for half the league in the run-up to Thursday."

Huh? I'm not going to claim nobody has ever called him "OMP" but I think it's fair to say he's got a pretty well established nickname and that's not it.
