very interesting story. I think Olynyk is going to fit in extremely well with Sullinger and Rondo, the same way the jazz were expecting him to complement Favors and Kanter with his outside shooting. He's going to really open up the floor for Rondo with his three point shot.

I like that guy doing the podcast. Reminds me of Rick Kambla's old show on Sirius.

Wow, nice story.  Makes me totally rethink him and how he will do.  When he says Olynyk hit the second most, I wonder if he mean ever or at the workout, at all workouts it wasn't clear.

Hitting 63 of 100 threes is pretty impressive though.  Deandre Jordon hits 38 out of 100 free throws.

edit for TP!

Thanks for the heads up, Gran Tur.  An interesting listen indeed.  Seems like the Olynyk portion lasts a couple of minutes for anyone who has not yet listened.

Pretty sure he meant in this particular workout vs all the other players, guards, etc.

I got the impression he meant 2nd most of any prospect the Jazz had ever run through this drill.  So not just this year but however long they'd been doing it.


If true this makes Danny's move up make a lot more sense.  Whether Olynyk turns out to be worth it is the big question mark, but it seems like we had to move up to get him.

For 2 second rounders, I don't think anyone cares if the move was "worth it" in all honesty.
