No, you said he "must" be drafted.

Rondo is going to be dropping dimes to the Clinic. Its gonna be some good basketball. So much for KG, its a new era.

Jagger was very accurate. When he started this thread, we expected to draft #13-#15. Olynyk went #13.

#Celtics Danny Ainge (w/ Kelly Olynyk next to him): We don't see Kelly as a go-to guy in the NBA ... but guy who sets other people up.

Point center.

Prepare for GOAT status.

Ouch?

Keeping the expectations modest is a good ploy by a GM

Vlade Divac made that great Kings passing game work. Chris Webber got all the credit.

Divac is a perfect Olynyk comparison.

A flopping pussy? Sounds right.

Really? Olynyk is much more agile, with better handles, and a better shooter, don't you think?

I'm thinking from a basketball smarts and high post passing perspective.

The more you discuss Olynyk the more I think you haven't seen him play much.

Considering Ainge's comment and your take, I just flashed an image of a poor man's Bill Walton, hair cut and all.

Seriously, if he is a good high-post passer, with his other skills, that could be a fun offense to play in.

What Danny Ainge was really thinking: "We don't see Kelly as a go-to guy in the NBA...but he was the best white player available."

The more you post in general, the more I think SlyPokerDog is a self-indulgent douche who can't ring his own bell enough, apparently.

No need to get personal.

The domination begins.

Included in Olynyk's varied game, though, was the 3-point stroke that has Celtics management so excited. He was 2-for-4 from downtown, and none of it was forced or hurried.

"Yeah, he’s good when he takes it. He had some he turned down," said Larranaga. "I think he needs to know we have the utmost confidence in whatever decision he makes, because he’s such a smart basketball player.

"It depends on the young guy," Larranaga added of the need to encourage Olynyk to shoot. "Some young guys have no problem taking shots. That’s just Kelly’s personality. He’s a very unselfish person."

Olynyk certainly seems to be embracing that downtown request.

"It's definitely been a point of emphasis for me," he said.

As for the increased physical nature of the NBA game — at one point he absorbed an elbow to the mouth from Nicholson — Olynyk smiled.

Brad Stevens-

“He did so many things that would be a tough matchup at a big position,” Stevens said. “I really like his game. He’s really bright, you can tell he makes others around him better. I thought he did some good things defensively as well. He’s going to be a good player.”

He looked decent. I said before the draft that I thought he would not be a bust.
But unless he gets more physical inside he may be more like Bargnani

Bargnani could never dream of shooting as efficiently as Olynyk does, rebound as well, or play defense as well.

You are probably right, he looks to be better, but Kelly needs to play inside or his rebounding numbers won't reflect it.

For Zags:

Its just summer league, but rookie I was impressed with most on Day 1 in Orlando and player overall was @celtics @KellyOlynyk.

 

[magnifier661]

For Zags:

I watched him and he looked awesome! He had a McHale up and under move that was insane! I have no doubt he will be good!

What does 7 rebounds in 26 minutes extrapolate out to in 36 minutes?

 

[magnifier661]

It's about a rebound every 2.7 minutes. So I would say 10-11?

 

[BrianFromWA]

set it up as a proportion:

7 is to 26 as x is to 36. cross multiply to get 26*x = 7 * 36. x = 9.7
