Zombie Must draft Kelly Olynyk!!!

[MickZagger]

He's the closest thing to Dirk there is.

Real deal. Legit 7 footer that can put the ball on floor, shoot from range and has soft touch.

Just trying to teach you guys about some prospects.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

what can he offer that we can't get in...Yi Jianlian :MARIS61:

 

[MickZagger]

Some cajones.

 

[THE HCP]

Alex....... without looking I'll take "big white guy" for $1000.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Olynyk seems like a prime candidate to fill a complimentary role at the next level

Yes, perhaps he's gotten better but such a summary screams late first or second round pick. I'm not opposed to taking a second round flyer on him but don't see anything that says gotta have.

Oh, other than the fact that he's a Zag? Sorry, but that only works for you. Zag doesn't exactly have a great pedigree for producing good quality NBA players.

I saw Stockton when he was there and was thoroughly impressed and felt the Jazz got a good one when they drafted him. Never expected him to be as good as he turned out to be though.

Gramps...

...Canadians don't know how to play basketball [Nash was born in South Africa, FYI]!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Canadian?

Do I need to change my slogan to no North American born white centers ?

 

[Nikolokolus]

C'mon Zags, getthefuckouttahere.

 

[MickZagger]

Bump material in 2 years.

Didn't he want to draft the staché?

DAMMIT ROETHLISBERGER!

I missed that one. I haven't been as high on a Zag player since. Come tourney time Olynyk will be a lottery player. The guys a legit 7 footer shooting over 60% from the field. I suggest you actually watch him play
.

I'm tired of teaching you guys about prospects every year. Nobody around here knows squat about college prospects but when the draft comes around you act like experts. Yawn.

Get off your high horse.

I will be the first to admit that I don't know shit about college players. I just don't watch college.

So don't? Many of the people on here don't like college hoops. We didn't ask you to "teach us" and the constant reminders about how you "saw him first" is pretty annoying honestly.

 

[MickZagger]

20+ page threads during draft time about prospects when most have never watched him play is always fun.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Will have to get more info, but I have seen with other draftees where scouts think they have the next Dirk that turn out horribly. Even with Dirk there is still concerns about every other aspect of his game besides shooting.

So you are saying lottery pick and that he gets a sizable contract after his rookie deal is up?

Better rebounder. Both can put the ball on the floor and are great face up shooters. Doesn't have the ball handling skills, or unorthodox shot that Nowitski has. He's just finally starting to get a little notoriety. If you haven't seen him play I suggest tuning in. He's going to be special. 6pm Saturday they play Butler. Check it out. He's good.

 

[RoyToy]

Lol at Dirk comparison

 

[MickZagger]

lol

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

So lottery and extension?

Just let the chips fall where they may. A team is going to be happy drafting Olynyk.

Golden State is probably happy drafting Festus Ezeli, but he did not deserve a thread pre-draft. Will watch the game against Butler though.

Festus Ezeli is absolutely nothing like Olynyk. Festus Ezeli is a Sear Sene clone.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

That was not the point. Golden State is happy drafting Ezeli and he is performing far below what you think Olynyk will do. Saying any team will be happy drafting Olynyk is pretty vague.
