Because people became infatuated with his rebounding numbers and turned a blind eye to the rest of his game. Was one of the weakest NPOY winners in recent memory.
Where are the “Oscar is for sure an NBA’er guys””?”

I think he's aggravated with the game today and deciding to vent to a bottle of whiskey.
1st ever played of the year not drafted. I hope someone that can coach a big guy picks him up. He deserves a chance. 🤷🏻♂️
He kinda reminds me of Kevon Looney. If he could develop to his type of player he would have a place in the league. Oscar to Golden State! Bet on it! 🤣
I'm aggravated with the state things too. But that's not an excuse for him. He needs to get help.
I don't know if that was entirely his choice, but we will never truly know. He's on a two way contract now, and will make an impact where he goes.
Oscar will be fine.
Damn, what did Oscar do to you? He signed a contract at least. Better that the majority of players that have ever played. Maybe he sticks, maybe he don’t. I do think he’s such a good rebounder that he would be a great bench man just to clean the boards for shooters.
He led the team in PPG and won NPOY. You don’t do that for just rebounding. Get out of here.
Huggins was dead wrong, he let an All American walk lmfao. He’s drunk and I think we have seen his decision making. Kinda weird the stance you’re taking here.
They stash young players in hopes they get better. Oscar has peaked. No amount of time will make him a more desirable NBA prospect. As it stands now he just has to make himself useful enough to get a contract and hopefully one after that.
They need all the wins they can get in life.
I still think he can be a second unit guy and have a long career off that
Yankee fan calling someone else a dumbass lol. Grow up, key board warrior.
I love Oscar but there’s no place in a lineup he could even start to play defense. The 5’s would murder him and the 4’s would be to the basket before he even thought about moving his feet.
Are you referring to me??? If so, I do love Oscar but he’s no NBA guy. I love my 2 boys also and they both played ball but they weren’t that good. I don’t have a problem with being real about things. My love or lack of has no bearing on the product. I hate Laettner with the heat of a 1000 suns but he’s one of the best college players to dribble a ball.
read your original post.
add this in....
would you put your hand to a bible and swear your not a dumbass?
it isnt your choice in teams that makes you a dumbass...
it's your thoughts and the fact you think they need to be cemented in a forum....
I think he could easily play on a bench lineup. There are teams that do play zone now. He’s not as bad as people think, yeah it’s not a strong suit but maybe the NBA will actually coach him how to switch better. He rebounds so good I can easily see a role just for that.
In your case it is the choice of teams that makes you a dumbass. They call me Wells Ready Mix cause I cement that shit in the forum.
He was just so abused his second year here after all the coaches got the scouting report on him. He can’t jump over a pencil, can’t pass, can’t dribble, can’t defend and can’t shoot outside 15 feet. He made his living with his motor, his strength and he positioned himself pretty well even to the detriment of being out of position on defense. How’s he gonna score in the league??? Who can he guard in the league? He can’t guard college front court players. He sure isn’t guarding league front courters.
For cripes sake, "his second year" here he averaged nearly 17 ppg and a ridiculous 14 rpg and was a second team All American. If that's supposedly being "so abused" then please sign me up for more abuse.
Yes, Oscar's game has gaping flaws that turned the pro scouts off ...but he also was one of the greatest rebounders the college game has ever seen. Some of our fans optimistically figured that him being SO extraordinary in one area of the game might cause the pros to overlook his flaws in other areas on draft night. Didn't turn out to be the case ...but so what? It's still a fair viewpoint.
Dude balled out for us for two years. NPOY and twice All American is a legacy of undeniable greatness ...regardless of how his pro career goes.
Chuck Hayes went undrafted and played professionally for 10 years, signing a 22M, 4yr contract towards the end of it all. If Oscar wants it bad enough and puts in the work he can play in the league.
He probably would have been if normal 60 picks he was right on the line. Anyway he's in the NBA now. Pacers. I think he will stick and do well. Superstar, no. But solid role player, yes.
He would of got first round if it wasn’t for those little pesky GMs meddling in his affairs.
In all seriousness, I don’t know the real relationship Cal and Oscar have. I know what they try to present on the outside. I do kind of wonder if he didn’t get Cal’s full support getting him to the league though.
