Omot announced on social media that he will not be joining Shandong. The reason came from negative comments from fans, and under public pressure, the Shandong men's basketball management ultimately decided to change the foreign player candidate.
Signing halted amid public reaction

Shandong had previously reached an agreement with Omot, but after the news was released, the comment section saw a large number of negative evaluations. The management had to reconsider and ultimately decided to replace Omot.
Ability itself is not the issue
Omot's ability does not actually have major flaws, as he is a player who once scored over 20 points against the USA national team. The real question is how to use him effectively, rather than whether he is capable.
