Surprised Olynyk was chosen, Sullinger is clearly deserving.

He passes well, can make some funky shots and nobody is going to be playing defense that game, which covers his biggest liability

Good for Olynyk.

Some posters here think he'll be out of the league next year.

He's a warm body & he's breathing, right?  ;)

Ditto.  Guess his so-so numbers were better than the rookies who can't even get off the bench.

The question with rookies has never been whether they'll be in the league in their second year -- it is whether they'll make it past their rookie contract. For Olynyk, that's anything but a given.

Are we going to admit deep down we're worried Olynyk will do something to totally embarrass himself? I'm imagining multiple emphatic Anthony Davis stuffs in his face.

This season's draft was not good.

He'd have to be fast enough to be near Davis when he's dunking  :P

Probably, but they let them play in both now I think.  Pretty sure somebody doubled up last year.

EDIT:  Yup, Kyrie did.

Yes...lol. I'm afraid it'll be something gif worthy.

Have you seen the rookie class at all this year ?

Olynyk's overall numbers aren't too shabby if you compare them to the entire class.
