Miami forward Norchad Omier is a 2024 NBA Draft prospect. How does he project at the next level after establishing himself as one of the best big men in the ACC this past season?

The best player on the Hurricanes this past season was Miami’s second-best draft prospect, but many wonder if the Nicaraguan can elevate his game to a higher level.

Upon moving from Arkansas State for the 2022–2023 season, Norchad Omier became one of the most physically intimidating players in college basketball right away. After NBA players Jordan Miller and Isaiah Wong left the team, Omier emerged as the team’s top scorer with 17.0 points per game in the previous campaign.

Omier was undoubtedly a gifted college player, but it is still unclear if he will be able to advance to a higher level of play. Consequently, what could Omier offer an NBA team, what kind of player is he, and where would he fit in best?
