O'Mara just continues to improve and impress. He once again showed his versatility. He could lock himself down low easily in high school ball, but his jumper and passing on the perimeter are way too good for that. O'Mara probably translates to a wing at the next level. He has very good feet and is a smart shooter.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
