Top 10 Big 12 basketball players midway through 2024-25 season
6. Norchad Omier, F, Baylor
Baylor hasn鈥檛 been talked about much this season and has had its share of struggles in the new-look Big 12. However, Scott Drew鈥檚 team could be dangerous in March and a big reason why is its big man, Omier. The 6-foot-7, 240-pound forward has always played bigger than his size dating back to his time at Miami where he helped spark a Final Four run in 2023. In year one at Baylor, Omier is averaging 15.4 points which ranks seventh in the Big 12. He also leads the conference in rebounds at 10.4 per game as the only Big 12 player averaging a double-double. Omier is an efficient 54% shooter and makes his presence felt on defense with one block and 1.3 steals per contest. He is a premier big man in the league and a nice complement to Baylor鈥檚 talented guards headlined by VJ Edgecombe.
