Miami Basketball News: Norchad Omier Invited to NBA G League Combine

Miami forward Norchad Omier is one of 47 invitees to the NBA G League Combine, which will be held in Chicago from May 13-14.

This full list of players was first reported by Adam Zagoria.

The top performers from this combine will receive invites to the NBA Draft Combine, which is from May 16-18. UM guards Isaiah Wong and Jordan Miller have already been invited to this combine. 

Omier, along with Hurricanes guard Nijel Pack, declared for the 2023 NBA Draft while maintaining his collegiate eligibility. Both players, along with the 240 other players who declared for the draft as early entries, have until May 31 to withdraw their names from draft consideration.

In his first year at Miami, Omier averaged 13.1 points and 10 rebounds per game and was recognized on the All-ACC Third Team.

The former Arkansas State transfer was an integral part of Miami’s 2023 Final Four run. In this five-game stretch, Omier averaged 10 points and 12 rebounds per game. He was the leading rebounder in the NCAA Tournament with 60 boards in total.

North Carolina’s Leaky Black and Clemson’s PJ Hall and Hunter Tyson join Omier as ACC invitees to the G League Combine. 

Notable invitees also include college basketball’s leading point-scorer last season, Detroit guard Antoine Davis, and Kansas State guard Markquis Nowell, who set the Division 1 NCAA Tournament single-game assists record with 19 against Michigan State in the 2023 Sweet 16.
