Zombie Must draft Kelly Olynyk!!!

Jock rider? More like acknowledging the quick and easy find after you blindly claimed you never said such a thing.

I can't help that you just dig yourself your own hole. At least admit you were wrong k?

 

I'm not talking about you.

This other guy. I got a couple old jock straps I got laying around that I can send his way so he can sniff up on them

 

With all said and done; your boi does look good. I was very impressed. FYI

 

dude is crafty for sure, the college game is a scrum in the paint usually and shit never gets called, cant fault a guy for not finishing everything at the rim

i dont see him as a superstar but he will have a long nba career for sure, and at the #12 pick, thats about as good as you can hope for

 

I pretty much agree with this from only watching him play 3 times this year. He has some skill, but he seems to lack the necessary athleticism to use those skills at the next level. He also seemed to get pushed around a bit too much and I'm not sure he has the strength to play down low in the NBA.

Like I said, I was surprised that he ended up with 26 and 9. I never got the feeling that he was dominating and dictating the game like I would expect an elite big man to do while scoring 26.

 

He was just showing his ignorance on LMA at Texas. Nothing wrong with that at all.

 

Well he did miss 14 of his 22 shots, (With 4 turnovers) so that may be why you were surprised he scored so much.

 

Definitely had an off shooting day. He was a 63% shooter from the field going into that game. Something like 3rd in the NCAA for percentage if I recall correctly.

 

Yeah the paint becomes a clusterfuck in college basketball especially during the tourney. Being able to hit the 3 is huge come tourney time. Thats one thing I like about the pro game, is if you got skills as a post player you will have plenty of room to operate.

 

Somebody is hijacking their own thread.

I was actually impressed with Olynyk in the tournament against weak teams, but he still struggled at times in the paint. His size and coordination are nice, though.

Seems like a solid late first-round pick for a good team. I'm not sure he is a "MUST" draft pick for any team, though.

 

I think the NBA has shifted that way as well. Especially in the playoffs when the game slows down. It's all about the PG and the wings. You still want your bigs to be skilled, but once they put the ball on the floor, bad things happen to big guys. Unless you are elite like Dirk, Lebron, and Durant and can play out on the wing as well.

 

Olynyk is the next Dirk. Haven't you read this thread?

 

That's the big thing in college. Low post players don't have any room to operate. It's too easy for the guard to double and jump right back on their man.

 

Still think Kelly makes LMA expendable, Zags? Still can't get over that one.

And yeah, still think he's gonna get way over drafted.

 

Nothings changed my mind.

 

Just throwing in my 2 cents here and please don't think I'm jabbin' you Mick.

It seems to me that what we saw from KO in the Wich State game is kind of what we'll see in the NBA. He was going up against a more athletic front line and it effected him, despite putting up decent #s, he didn't get the easy looks. KO's lack of 'explosion' in the paint will make it hard for him against NBA-level defenders.

He is smart though, good BBall IQ, and may eventually be an effective, crafty NBA big man without being the biggest, most athletic guy on the floor.

Certainly a risk/reward draft pick for me.
