Omer Mayer scouting report, highlights
If Purdue wants someone to be the “next Braden Smith,” Mayer is that guy. He works well off of ball screens to drive to the basket or hit pull-up jumpers. He’s also more than happy to pile up assists. He set up Maccabi Tel Aviv teammate (and former Purdue star) Trevion Williams plenty last season.
