Kelly Olynyk has quietly been putting together some good games recently. Who cares if the Celtics are losing all of them? It’s not his fault. He’s just a rookie. He’s playing his heart out. Meanwhile vets like Jeff Green and Gerald Wallace are sleepwalking through the season. They’re the real culprits.
It concerns me to see Kelly taking so many jumpers, despite his good overall play. I thought his strength coming out of Gonzaga was his post game. Where are the post ups? It’s not like the Celtics have to worry about winning or anything. Just give him the ball down there and see what happens. If he travels every time just accept it and try to find the moral of the story. Which would probably end up being “don’t ever post up it’s not worth it”.
