    Olynyk is 2nd in the entire NCAA in PER, he's the best player on a top 10 team and some of his best games were against top competition. At this point, there's no way he's not an All American.

    Draft Express just posted a nice video breakdown of him. Be prepared to hear this kid is not perfect Zags.

    Not a big deal if he is an All American either. Nolan Smith was player of.the year.

    Starting at the 1:28 mark of that video you can't tell me those moves aren't Dirk-esque for a legit 7 footer.

    I see really nice footwork and handles for a 7 footer. Hard to compare anyone (legitimately) to someone as good as Dirk but this kid could very well be fringe All-Star in time.

    He has no lift. His 'explosion' is very Marc Gasol-esque.

    Love his game though.

    Unfortunately in those video's there has to be a weakness portion. A few of those are a stretch. He's a above average rebounder and more explosive athletically than given credit for.

    Not sure you'll find a perfect prospect.

    That video heavily enforced my belief that he won't be very good in the NBA.

    When you're a legit 7 ft, how important is it for you to have 'explosion'?

    He is not an explosive athlete at all. I don't know what you're seeing there. He better hope his reach is in the 9'2" range or he's going to get blocked a lot. He has NO lift.

    reminds me of a taller but worse rebounding Zach Randolph.

    How "explosive" is Dirk, Z-Bo, Gasol, Love?

    You've called Olynyk "explosive" and an "above average athlete" -- couldn't be further from reality. But I do like him as a prospect. Like Z-Bo, he looks crafty.

    LOL I'm a better basketball coach than you could ever be. And there's a difference between the 12th and 3rd grades, not that you would know.
