    Olynyk is a passing point-center like Walton. But Wooden didn't allow centers and forwards to dribble. Olynyk has the extra dimension of dribbling as well as a SF.

    Walton had great quickness and leaping (before injuries), unlike Kelly, but Olynyk is a court leader like Walton. He will go far.

    Guy writes that after one bad game? I'm no Olynk fan one way or the other, but that's kind of dumb.

    Two games. Yes it is dumb, but he's writing about who played well in Summer League games, so what can you do? People want to read that.

    In fact, every bad review of Olynyk on the internet is written by me. It's exhausting setting up so many proxies, but worth it if I can destroy him.

    Ha! I imagine he appreciates the paycheck. I doubt shame enters his mind.
    Kind of odd it does yours.

    Elfrid Payton is very impressive. And his hair is AWESOME.

    #Blazers' CJ McCollum noticeably bigger in arms, shoulders, but said he's actually lost a little weight while getting stronger.

    Mike Tokito @mtokito
    Like last year, assistants David Vanterpool and Nate Tibbetts will be co-head coaches of #Blazers summer league team.

    I think it will be interesting to see who has a better career, Payton or MCW.

    He was a fatty from a little college program. His nickname should be Chunky.

    Sounds like a page out of the John Canzano playbook.

    What did he do wrong in his first game?

    (Consider it a hypothetical because I know you don't have an answer).
