    Kevin Love is going to be sooooo pissed when he finds out.

    Olynyk is a 22 year-old 4th year college player who did squat before this season. That would make me nervous as an NBA GM who thought I was drafting the 'next Dirk'.

    A) He'll be 22 by the time of the NBA draft

    B) He missed last season as a redshirt because of Robert Sacre and Elias Harris. It's his 4th year at Gonzaga.

    Are you sure you're a big Zags fan?

    He couldn't beat out Elias Harris or Robert Sacre for PT and redshirted as a junior at Gonzaga, but he's the next Dirk.

    Comedy gold here.

    He hadn't physically matured yet and he was an underclassmen behind two future NBA guys.

    Your point...

    Hey, it's your thread. You called him the next Dirk.

    To be fair there are players like Dolph Schayes and Jamaal Magloire (I know, funny but don't laugh too hard - was an All-Star) who were nothing much in College until their final season.

    Olynyk's always been talented. The question has always been his physical makeup. He's put on about 30lbs since his freshman year. He was a string bean, now he's got a strong build.

    Neither of those guys were "the next Dirk", though.

    I'm not anti-Olynyk, either. I just don't see the "must draft" part about his game that will make teams that pass on him regret it.

    I'm not exactly sure why this thread was created, to be honest.

    Not Dirk-style true but one was voted one of the top 50 players in History.

    Dolph Schayes is a hall of famer.

    The only reason this thread is here is because Olynyk goes to Gonzaga.

    So far I've watched the Wazzu, Ill, Okla, UP and Butler games. I'll say this, he has greatly improved from two seasons ago but I'm not sold he's a can't miss prospect at the NBA level. Like I said before, seems like a nice role player but not Dirk-esqe. Guess time will tell.
