Quote from: flybono on January 20, 2016, 08:19:29 PMHe is a Good bench reserve. Again, he is not a consistent shooter and zero inside game. You can't teach being 'aggressive" you either have it like a Lebron or you don't..I hope you mean zero post game, because Kelly Olynyk has an outstanding inside game. In fact, the majority of Olynyk's offense actually comes from inside the paint. So far over his career, more than one third (37%) of all KO's FGA have come from inside 3 feet (compared to 30% of his shots coming from three, 20% coming from midrange and 12% coming from 3-10 feet) and he's shot 66% on those attempts. That's not just good, that's elite. For comparison purposes:* Kevin Love for his career has taken 32% of shots inside 3 feet, and shot 59% on those shots* Greg Monroe for his career has taken 57% of shots inside 3 feet, and shot 62% on those shots* Al Jefferson for his career has taken 32% of shots inside 3 feet, and shot 66% on those shots* Zach Randolph has taken 37% of shots inside 3 feet, and shot 59% on those shots* Pau Gasol has taken 37% of shots inside 3 feet, and shot 66% on those shots* Tim Duncan has taken 31% of shots inside 3 feet, and shot 69% on those shotsThose 6 guys are typically perceived as some of the best inside scorers of this generation, yet Duncan is the only guy on that list with significantly better career inside scoring numbers than Olynyk.He's consistent too. Olynyk so far has not had a single season in which he's taken less than 35% of his shots inside 3 feet. Nor has he had a single season in which he's shot worst than 64% inside 3 feet. He isn't your traditional back-to-the-basket power big, but don't let that fool you. There are few players on this team (and few players in this league) who finish around the basket as well as Olynyk does.Luckily for us, we have one who does on our very roster. Amir Johnson has taken 53% of his career field goals inside 3 feet, and has shot an incredible 71% from there. He's also an 11 year pro, with 626 career games played, so it's not like it's a small sample size. Without a doubt one of the best inside finishers in the game today.No wonder we play so with with Amir + Kelly on the court together!
