    He's not a Gonzaga student. I bet he can't name more than 3 players on the team.

    I wasn't insinuating he wasn't a good player.

    I'm one of the few pro-Olynyk posters here.

    The guy says you have no clue where I went to school. Then I call him on his shit for not watching the Zags and all the sudden he's a student and watched every home game.

    Bullshit.

    He's big, but he's not what we need at this point. Kinda reminds me of Fabricio Oberto a bit?

    Well duh, that's where you got that from. They are nothing alike.

    Dude, you watch one game and start throwing out horrible comparisons?

    I watched one game and threw out the same "horrible comparison" that an NBA scouting site threw out. I get it, you love the guy. No reason to attack me over it. He looks like he'll be a solid player in the NBA. Just not what we need at this point in our franchise

    Speaking of the Zags (and not specifically Olynyk), analysts are saying that even if Gonzaga finishes the season as the #1 team in the Nation (which is now a strong possibility), they will not be a #1 seed in the Tourney. They will most likely be a 2 seed according to reports.

    Olynyk has already showed a much more advanced scoring skill-set than either Hawes or Oberto.

    He's more Scola.

    I think the Hawes comparison is a good one. Not saying he won't be better than Hawes, but from the little I've seen of Olynyk they seem like similar players.

    One thing I wont budge on is his athletic ability on the NBA level. He's an average athlete in this area.

    But this comment on this vid HAS to be Mick:


    :lol:

    With that factored in, he's a very nice PF/C prospect. His skillset on the offense end is prime.

    Just because of the conference they're in? Aren't they like 6-1 against RPI top 50 teams? It seems ridiculous that they wouldn't be one of the #1 seeds.

    The fact that they are in the top-3 is nothing to whine about.

    Virginia up 10 on Duke right now. There's no way if Duke loses and Gonzaga wins tonight that were not rated #1.
