Summary:
Max Abmas is an agile, skilled playmaker that can shoot and score the basketball, and he is a sharpshooting guard that can definitely put up points in a hurry. As a sophomore, he was the NCAA Division 1 scoring leader, and he averaged 24.6 points per game in 28 games during the 2020-21 season. He led Oral Roberts to get to the 2021 NCAA Tournament. He led his teams to upset wins over Ohio State and Florida.
After starring in the NCAA Tournament, he then returned to play for Oral Roberts. On the other hand, he can sometimes display questionable shot selection, and he will need to show NBA scouts and teams that he can reliably run the point at higher levels. He recently transferred to play for Texas. Abmas is a talented prospect that projects to be a second round prospect for the 2024 draft.
