00:00 Well said. Now speaking of Omir, I think he's an ACC player of the year candidate.
00:08 But at the same time, I don't think he gets enough recognition and he's not talked about enough.
00:14 What's your take on that?
00:16 He's getting talked about a little bit more this year. He's a preseason first team All-ACC.
00:21 Nigel was second team All-ACC preseason this year.
00:24 So I think he's getting some recognition now, but I think the advancement in his game this year is what's going to make or break him.
00:34 Obviously, he's an undersized power forward playing the five to begin with.
00:39 He went two for two from the three point line last night.
00:41 He started to develop that top of the key three.
00:44 And I saw even some of the players were starting to come up and defend him there.
00:47 He was taking the ball down the court, leading the fast break.
00:50 A couple of those like Kevin Love type throws down the entire court.
00:55 So if he can continue to do that and continue to shoot the three like he's doing, even if it's like two or three times a game,
01:01 I think he's going to get the recognition. Now, if he's going to be ACC player of the year, I don't know.
01:06 I think four of the five players on the first team are all power forwards.
01:10 So it's definitely an interesting first team.
01:14 But he's going to have to do a lot because he's competing against guys like Baycott, Filipowski.
01:22 So whether he gets player of the year, I don't know. But I think he could keep his first team status for sure.
