    That he got some rebounds in a summer league game. Did you think he dominated the paint? I think he is very versatile and because of it he likes to float to the outside.

    He averaged over 9 rebounds in 36 minutes in college. Which isn't horrible. Especially when there's this notion floating around that he can't rebound and is soft.

    He was very active inside all game long, playing defense, trying to own the paint. He is no stiff. He bends all over the man he guards and stays in front of him, as the man seeks an opening to shoot anywhere inside of 12 feet and finds no escape from Kelly. The effort is there. The coaches will improve his technique. We should have drafted him.

    6 fouls in 26 minutes of summer league. It will be interesting seeing how actual NBA players attack him.

    Its just summer league. I'm more looking to see how he responds against NBA, starting caliber, PFs and centers. Same with every other player in summer league. Just gotta wait to see what they show in the big boy leagues, when defenses are actually set and shit.

    Had himself a nice game offensively, though.

    Nicholson who had himself a good rookie year was his matchup most of the game and Olynyk abused him. He's a Canadian, they're tough. Brad Stevens who was at the game was quoted as saying that he did good things defensively. The defense thing is overblown with him anyway. I watched him every second in college and he always tried hard and was an above average defender.

    Everybody's savior Andre Drummond had 6 fouls in 25 minutes, Patrick Beverly a solid backup PG had 7 fouls today in 26 minutes, Nicholson had 7, O'Quinn had 6, Jeremy Lamb had 6 today, its what happens in SL. A couple of those calls were bogus anyways. Sounds like picking nits.

    Nope. Not always. Just you and MZ. Just call it how I see it "KingSpeed". Better?

    You clearly post stuff just to "troll" people and can, on occasion, post things that are nothing but absurd, mind-numbing, drivel. I really don't have an issue with you, or some stuff you post about 50% of the time; however, the other 50% seems to be a little thoughtless and purely based on the aforementioned issues I talked on earlier. It can almost seem like you're two different people with each of the spectrum you swing from. Massive, drama seeking troll - to a enthusiastic fan that looks to expand his knowledge.


    As far as MZ, that guy sunshine pumps himself, entirely way too much. "You can thank me, I'll give you lessons on how to see talent, look at me I can see talent, etc." He is pretty damn self-absorbed and posts some pretty ridiculous stuff as well that is clearly for the purpose of stirring the pot. He does occasionally provide some good insight but his delivery is lacking. Attempting to dispute what he says is pretty comical as well.

    I want to root for Olynyk... he seems like a likeable guy, but this thread's making that harder and harder.

    The blatant hate of all thing Olynyk is what gave this thread wings. I should compile a post full of vitriolic posts by peeps about my dude Olynyk.

    I'm not sure it is Olynyk. If you started a thread about how Zellar or Plumlee were going to be better than Lynyrd, you would get the same reaction.

    Sam Mitchell on NBATV -

    (paraphrasing)

    "In a few years, this guy's going be a very good NBA player. He's going to be 18/19 point, 8/9 rebound player."
