Zombie Must draft Kelly Olynyk!!!

You just can't tell me he's not athletic.

He's not athletic.

If jumping 15 inches off the ground makes you an athletic basketball player call me Michael Jordan.

 

He's a Kaman/Scola type of athlete.

His 'quick leap' is that of Slavko Vranes.

But I'd still take him in the mid/late lotto.

 

You do realize he dunked that a step in from the free throw line.

It's funny that people bash Leonard for being just an athlete.

 

Which is why I'm for drafting Olynyk.

Drafting athletes over real skill/basketball players is getting tiring.

 

If he's a step away from the free throw line, he's a step away from the rim too. His right foot is in the middle of the key.

 

I am a big Zags fans a well. I think Olynyk is closer to Bargs then Dirk but that is fine for a late lottery pick. It just isn't fine to be Bargs at a top 3 pick.

Kids has the fundamentals. That is a great start.

 

Bad angle. Can't wait to see how he measures out in the predraft. There's going to be some surprised haters.

 

This post reminds me of a FOX News Republican

The facts are right in front of you and just dismiss it

Nothing gets in the bubble

 

How apropos. Like the guy who denies any facts about Batum.

 

I love being surprised

 

He plays way stronger than Bargs and has post moves that Bargs could never dream of. Olynyk is a mix between Scola, Dirk and Marc Gasol.

 

Not an elite rebounder.

Not an elite athlete.

Shot is blocked a lot.

Decent stroke and good footwork.

Pretty much Zach Randolph with a little more handles, half the rebounding ability, just as little D, better passing, and not as good in the post against elite athletes. I'll pass.

Can't believe someone mentioned him in the same breathe as K Love.

 

The rebounding knock is unfounded. He has a Rebound Rate of 14.9

Which is better than Zeller, slightly below Noel.

He averages about 10 rebounds per 40 minutes of play.

Not elite in the post against good athletes? More unfounded Bullshit.

Might as well say you don't like him because he's white and has funky hair. That would have more of a foundation then the rest of your logic in this thread.

 

Using your standards Batum is worse this year compared to last year.

His PER is lower and so far he's posted the lowest ORtg of his career.

Raw data, yo

 

He's been playing injured a good portion of the year.

 

That's common in the NBA.

 

1) I'm not big on Zeller, and Zeller is higher than 10 anyway. Easily worse than every other "top" big guy.

2) Not even the leader on his own team...that would be Elias Harris.

3) Correct. He struggles in the post against elite athletes, and he gets his shot blocked at a high rate due to his lack of athleticism. You can feel free to look into the stats, you know how to use google. I've done it before.

4) Ever read the scouting report of your team? Apparently not, since the first thing in Kelly's points out his horrific D, his array of pump fakes, up and unders, etc. Says to stay on your feet, as he relies on his fakes to get his shot off.

Do your research next time. Nice playing with you. You can get off his dick anytime.

 

I've watched every minute of Gonzaga basketball for the last several years. I don't need any kind of scouting report from a guy who caught a game to tell me anything.

You have probably logged 20 minutes or so watching the Zags and live off those 'scouting reports'.

But, thanks for telling me to do my research. I love when the uneducated posters act like pro's on a topic and get lippy.

 

FIGHT!
