Zombie Must draft Kelly Olynyk!!!

Typical liberal mindset...always someone else's fault. Go cry to your union.

 

Oh, I still think he is pathetic defensively and will probably have significant issues with some of the other starting PFs in this league. But I may have been overly critical.

 

lol troll

 

Don't laugh too terribly hard. Our own rookies had their own defensive shortcomings just last year.

 

Held Jones 3-12 shooting, Plumlee didn't do great against him and he outplayed Andrew Nicholson twice.

 

Jones also shot 14 FT's and Olynyk had 7 fouls. Not a coincidence.

And none of those compare to:

David West
Carlos Boozer
KG
Amare/Carmelo
Lebron/Bosh

 

-Kevin O'Conner

 

Players foul a lot in SL? Is this breaking news?

 

Still the most impressive big man of the SL.

 

didnt see him play at all, was he doing work down low?

 

Inside/outside.

Schooling fools with footwork that would make a ballerina blush.

 

If only 40% of Congress could prevent the Celtic head coach from appointing Olynyk to a starting job...

 

Good little article on Oly the Clinic:

Ha... so he picked Dirk's #41... cool shit.

You mean the 5? It looks Olynyk might be the only player they have capable of starting at the 5 spot. Sullinger, Humphries, and Bass have all logged time at the 5, but I really wouldn't feel comfortable with any of them as my starting 5, would you?

I can see any of those three guys sliding into reserve 5 roles, like last year when Bass and Sullinger interchanged as 4's and 5's in different offensive sets, but starting?

I wonder how good this Vitor Faverani guy from Valencia BC can be, because Fab Melo's looking useless, and and outside of Faverani, Olynyk's really the only guy with starting 5 size.

 

You know, I was just thinking about that a little deeper, and well, I can easily see Boston starting Humphries, Sullinger, or Bass at the 5, but if you're talking about minute allocation at the 5 spot, I think Kelly Olynyk should get the bulk.

Humphries, Sullinger, and Bass are all prototypical, back-to-the-basket 4's, which could really compliment Olynyk's ability to stretch the paint. The only wild-card when it comes to Olynyk's minutes is the acquisition of Faverani. I don't know anything about his game, but looking at his statistics on Eurobasket, it looks like he likes to shoot. His 3pt FG% is low, but he takes a good deal of them for his size, and his FT% from ACB play is on par with the best big men in the game, which makes me believe that he's probably an efficient mid-range shooter. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the Celtics were trying to develop a high-low post game with Olynyk and Faverani playing alongside their undersized PF trio.

 

He can even cook too

I agree that Olynyk is the natural choice for the 5 spot. I have a feeling Sullinger will see a lot of minutes there. I don't think it really matters though as they're in tank mode anyway. I don't know much about the Faverani guy.

 

I wonder where Olynyk will be on the depth chart. He's a rookie, so there will be a couple of veteran centers above him, because they're so good.

This is how Oly dresses for gatherings.



Pimp juice.
