    I hope the Blazers don't draft this guy. I can't pronounce his name to save my life.

    Just think of it spelled like it's an Irish name. "Kelly O'Linnik" (Oh-Linn-ik)

    I say that because I was talking to a friend about him, and he thought the guy was Irish just hearing his name and not seeing it spelled out.

    Are we really going to draft finesse centers in the late lottery two years in a row?

    A 7' player who apparently can't finish with a dunk in the rim in traffic. He'll be a nice perimeter C, but he's not a difference-maker for any franchise.

    Olynyk has signed with the Wasserman Media Group and will be represented by Arn Tellum. The same agent as Brandon Roy, Lamarcus Aldridge, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Al Horford, Joe Johnson.....and on and on.

    Lets just say, he has an eye for talent ;)

    And Jan Vessely, Xavier Henry, Vladimir Radmonovic, Jon Brockman, etc.

    The guy's just a big time agent... don't think there's really much of an "eye for talent" involved.

    The good players he represents far outweigh the bad.

    I'm buying what your selling, Mick. Let's get Olynyk and sign Jermaine O'Neal to smooth over the growing pains. Olynyk looks like he could be an All Star from what I've read.

    Nothing against Kelly Olynyk, but this is a super weak draft and him now being regarded as a 10 ten player in it is proof. It's sad. You'd think with the 10th pick you'd be able to get a guy that has a solid chance of being a starter in this league. But instead we've got a 19 page thread about whether or not this guy is even good enough to be an NBA player.

    Back on topic, it really bothers me that he didn't play more. Deep down in my bones it makes me feel like there's something really wrong with a guy if he can't play most of the game in college. At the very least it worries me that he simply doesn't have the stamina it takes to be a professional athlete.
