Omar is a good player if he makes shots. If he doesn't, he isn't a good player.

So, I hope he keeps hitting shots!!!

He does more than just hit shots though. He just can't let missing affect the rest of his game, which it has seemed to do in the past.
 
I probably should mark that Ohio St game down on a calendar because I think it was when my wife first showed glimpses of understanding the game. Usually watch with her at home but went to watch with my brother, and she actually watched it on TV alone, and texts me when Omar hits his first shot to say that Omar was playing the hardest for the team and was doing it all out there, and she was right. That wasn't that shocking, but when Omar then continued to play his best ball of the year or a few, I began to think my wife has some mojo hidden inside her. One of the first games of the season she was begging for Facey to get some time and then he burst in and scored a few buckets in a row.

I agree with you that the rest of his on-court game is dependent on his shot making. If he's hitting, he plays hard aggressive D. If he's not, he can tend to be passive.

With regards to the rest of his game, I have yet to see anything else that Omar does on the court at an average or better level other than shoot 3's, but that doesn't make him a bad player, it just makes him one demensional.

That was my point, I guess. If he makes shot, he is a very good one-dimensional player. I'll take somebody who hits corner threes at 40% all day on the floor. If he doesn't make shots, the rest of his game is depressed, so he is just a blank on the court.

Make Shots Omar!!! Rooting for you.
 
Seems this warrants a bump. Back to back games for Omar. Suddenly shooting 12/26 from three on the year and 13/15 from the FT line. Only 3/7 from two, from what I could find.
 
Omar is a senior, we all knew he would see floor time. Was he made a captain?

He seems like he knows what Ollie needs from 'them' and is leading by example, even if shots aren't falling. He will be valuable come Feb/March and we will be expecting this kind of performance.

The last two games, he's been played decent D, but offensively, he's been perfect.
8 for 8 from the field
5 for 5 from 3
7 for 7 from the line
4 boards
3 assists
2 steals

Omar not comin' -- Omar here, now!
 
Two things with Omar: health and confidence. He has both going for him this season.
