Olynyk & Sullinger

[ScoobyDoo]

I think Olynyk and Sullinger are going to be a very interesting combination on the floor together.

I believe if Sully is truly healthy now he has the legitimate potential to be a 15 & 10 guy, working in the post.

But even if he's not that as a starter and both he and Olynyk simply turn out to be a great backups I'm very interested to see the inside out game develop between the to of them.

Both have decent post games and both can also shoot from the outside, Olynyk to a greater degree...and both apparently with high basketball IQ's and good passing ability...

Very interesting to see if that develops into something nice off the bench or starting.

I agree. These two guys, together with Rondo and his bball IQ, will wreak havoc on people for years if they stay together.

Also, the combined bball IQ of Rondo, Sullinger, and Olynyk is almost enough to offset the lack of bball IQ from Bradley and Green.

two smart players but not necessarily athletic...sounds like Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap 2.0

Ainge sees Oly as a stretch four.

He also talked about how well he thinks Olynyk will work with Sullinger, so I think he already expects one of them to play the 5 a bit.

That's a horrible defensive combination.  I like it a lot on offense, though.

I'm not going to be hard on Olynyk,   got to give him a chance,  after all he is not a lottery pick ......what would you expect from 16th pick..

We were SPOILED a by with Sully,  a kid that could play from day one with a father for a coach and great instincts ......

I'm not expecting Olynyk to be this good.

Right now ....I'm wondering if the D league Redclaws couldn't beat the Celtics.

Danny what a flippin mess you've made.

Everyone keeps talking about how smart Olynyk is, but I won't believe it until he takes down Rondo in Connect 4.

we won't be playing any defense next season, so it's all good

Olynyk was the 13th pick, and therefore a lottery pick.

He's got a lot of offensive talent, his shooting should make for a nice pick & pop combo with him and Rondo.

Olynyk's father was a coach too.

Of course it was in Canada. You can decide for yourself whether that counts.

TP  Scooby doo. might be awesome together Agreed.

[PhoSita]

I am looking forward to seeing both playing together this season, though I don't think that they can be the frontcourt tandem of the future.  One of them could conceivably be the starter with the right big man starting beside him and the other coming off the bench, though.
