i want two seasons with him in a CanesHoops uni firstNext TE?
Man I think he’ll be 16/8 easily.How do you think his game will translate to the ACC? Say against Lively, PJ Hall, or Hugley?
After Pack, Wong and Miller get theirs, I'm not sure there'll be enough shots left to have Omier average 16 ppg. But ... he'll more than hold his own inside, regardless of the competition.Man I think he’ll be 16/8 easily.
No chance. That would be the best season by a Canes big of all time. L said he was struggling to guard Aire in practice lol.Man I think he’ll be 16/8 easily.
I agree except I think he'll score a little less and rebound a little more. I'll go 10-12 ppg and 9-10 boards a game.Going to be interesting to see how his game translates to the ACC where as you all know guys are bigger, stronger, more athletic and talented than the Sun Belt. I don't expect him to put up the same kind of numbers as he did at Arkansas St. but do think he's going to have some success here. I can see him putting up numbers that'll give him a chance to make one of the all-conference teams in year 1. Omier may not have the ideal size to play the post in the NBA, but I think he's athletic enough to get away with it in the ACC. I can see him putting up 15 ppg and 6-8 rebs per game next year.
You're setting the bar way too low. Let's break it down. Just off of offensive rebounds and putbacks, he should be able to get 2 buckets (4pts) a game. From the FT line I'd say another 4-6 ppg. And another 6-10 ppg off the offense, whether it's dump-offs for dunks, post ups, or short jumpers. So, if it plays out like this he should be able to get on average anywhere between 14-20 points per game. Being a good rebounder isn't necessarily just off size. A lot of it has to do with positioning and activity. IF Omier can do those 2 things well, he's athletic enough to average around double digits boards next season.No chance.

i'd be happy with 10 and 8.
I don't think math is reasonable at all. To hit that level of production, he either leads us in FGAs (0% chance in an L offense) or leads the ACC in efficiency (1% chance).You're setting the bar way too low. Let's break it down.

Look at his numbers vs P6 teams last year. He was overwhelmed. We haven't heard great things from him in practice yet, either.
20 points per game is an AA season. Please save the unreasonable expectations for the football board!

These numbers are pie in the sky. ~5 made FTs per game is a ton. I went back to 2013 and couldn't find a single Canes player that averaged that. Omier was at 3.9 playing in the Sun Belt.I don't think he'd have to lead us in FGAs or the ACC in efficiency to have a good season. If he shoots 50% which is very possible in the post with 9-10 attempts per game (that won't lead us in attempts) would give him 10 points. Add a few FTs per game to that and that puts him close to 15 ppg. Unreasonable expectations??? In the referenced post, I gave a best case scenario at 20ppg. You said you'd be happy with 10/8. In my original post I said 15 pts and 6-8 rebs per game. Not that big a difference if you ask me.
I don't think I ever said he's likely to average 20 ppg. Possible? Maybe. Who knows. Time will tell, I guess. But I don't think most people including coaching staff and Omier himself are going into the season thinking 10 & 8 from him will suffice. If a guy like Ebuka Izundu can average 11ppg and 8rpg in a season playing in the ACC, I think someone coming off POY award can do better. As Canes fans, let's hope I'm right and you're not. GO CANES!!!These numbers are pie in the sky. ~5 made FTs per game is a ton. I went back to 2013 and couldn't find a single Canes player that averaged that. Omier was at 3.9 playing in the Sun Belt.
There's a HUGE difference between averaging 10 and 15 (not to mention 20). In one game? No, just a couple of buckets, not a big difference. Over the course of a season? Yeah, that's night and day. That's the difference between being a top ~10 ACC player and a top ~50 ACC player.
10 and 8 is probably a tad conservative, but I doubt he'll be much higher than that. If he is, we're probably a 1 or 2 seed.
