Oso's NBA profile

[MU82]

Watching Nova tonight I think I see what Oso is missing....it's what Dixon has. Not saying he's better than Oso but his game looks NBA ready and Oso College ready. I'm changing my mind,  Now I think 1 more year for him.

You're wrong at least twice here.

Dixon will be missing the NCAAt, Oso won't.
Dixon will be missing the 1st round of the NBA Draft, Oso won't.

I'm not sure the last few games have been particularly good for Oso from an NBA draft perspective.  He has to develop some sort of a face-up jumper.  I believe he can but it is odd to me that he has this push shot.  He also tends to drive and jump off of one foot in lieu of planting and having a serviceable post game.  Tyko makes his offensive game considerably better.  I think his ability to guard and switch is an asset, as well as his passing and ball handling, but he has a ways to go offensively imo.

Won't matter.  He won't be here next year.

I realize that.

Oso will be drafted on his ability to play multiple defensive positions well, his passing ability and his intelligence. A number of teams will be interested in him, and those teams will feel confident they can work with him on his shooting.

[Uncle Rico]

I realize that.

Any 4-year kid has some flaws in their game.  If they didn't, they'd have declared earlier.

The ability to guard 5 positions got Omax drafted.   Oso is better.    And a better passer.   Can run the offense through him.

You're wrong saying I'm wrong. Oso standing around on the three point line with no one within 10 feet of him is a bad look. At least dribble in 3 feet and shoot a jumper. Can't do that. Dixon is confident at the three line and is also a strong body. Oso is better for sure around the basket and passing. Yes, he's better than Dixon but he lacks key NBA abilities. Sorry it's true. As for first round, I hope so. And you can ping me back with "I told you so" if he does. But Im not sure about that

I agree

I'll be happy to bet you about which player goes earlier in the NBA Draft.

[Markusquette]

I'm not sure Oso has ever taken a jump shot in his time at MU. It's a testament to his other abilities that he's even a draft prospect with such a limited skill set offensively as a scorer.

🤣Bet me again?, you said that on another thread. That has the juice of a 12 year old.

Got it. You're sure enough to repeat something over and over, but not quite sure enough about it ...

One disappointment this year has Oso not trying 3 point shots or even a 15 footer, Kolek mentioned earlier this year year that Oso would surprise this year with that shot.  UConn was just laying back and giving him that, that affects the whole offense when they do that. Can not make back cuts

[The Sultan]

I will go out on a limb here and suggest that neither Shaka nor Nevada believe that the key to our offense is Oso taking 3s.

He's taken a number of 15-footers, all push shots from right at or around the FT line.

That's not the point, just make the bigs come out a tad

[Newsdreams]

The point is the coaches don't want him too. I've seen him take practice 3 pointers.

[MuggsyB]

It appears this is an unusually weak NBA draft.
