Decent shooter, especially from deep
Decent scorer off the dribble
Adequate playmaker for his size

Above average athlete

Cons:

Streaky shooter

Summary:

Omer Mayer is an agile, sharpshooting combo guard that can shoot and score the basketball. He can score in a variety of ways, but he will need to make shots at a higher percentage against elite competition in order to prove that he can be an elite shooter on a consistent basis. He will need to continue to hone his game in the meantime, but if he can put together a very good season in high-end professional basketball, he could project into a shooting specialist role in the NBA.
