For the most part, those players have gone on to have decent to solid NBA beginnings to their careers.

F – Luke Harangody, Boston

Yeah, lets hope that doesn't happen again.  Then again, one player was a (late) lottery pick, while the other was a 2nd rounder.

Yeah, in fact Harangody's numbers were not too different from Olynyk's overall - that's one of the things that sparked my curiosity about these lists.

Though, my recollection from having watched those 2010 games is that Olynyk is really leaving a much bigger imprint on the games.

We'll see.

Olynyk has a more advanced offensive game. Extremely polished

Summer League Rookie of the year? :-P

F – Luke Harangody, Boston

Olynyk has far superior skill than Harangony.

Plus he's a mobile 7 footer. 6'7 tweeners normally don't thrive in the NBA.
