Does Olynk Sullinger front court work in the future?

[freshinthehouse]

KO's future is as a 7 foot 6th man who lights up everyone else's bench.  He could be a real problem in that roll for other teams

This.  Bringing him off the bench will help hide his defensive deficiencies and will allow him to go up against second string defenses.

Its not every day you see a pf who can score, rebound, pass, steal the ball

KO rarely just scores 15 pts. He is also adding 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals etc.

He does alot of things on the court. Like i said he just needs to get a pro body to hold his own defensively. Like how zbo and david west hold their own

[clover]

I project Sully to get packaged like AlJeff within 12 months (and a week) to bring back that defensive center or some other young stud--and KO to be the starting 4 on the C's next competitive team, within two years. KO IMO is the guy who could hit 20-10, while playing great team D.

sullinger > Olynyk, and has been better since his rookie year IMO.

I see Olynyk's ceiling to be that of a backup 4, or first big off the bench. while I think Sullinger is a starting pf who can maybe aspire to 17ppg, 10rpg

The problem is that Olynyk's floor is, well, a backup 4 that's not the first big off the bench, and Sullinger's floor is Emeka Okafor.

We'll see where they are in a year or so.

I still can't quite figure out yet what exactly is the fun of living in a land of delusion.

With 44 games played, Olynyk has exactly 4 games with 2 or more steals, and exactly 8 games with 4 or more assists. As for the 5 rebounds, I find it curious how 5 rebounds mean poor rebounding for Jeff Green, but some sort of achievement for a 7-foot Kelly Olynyk.

Oh, and by the way, he has just 6 15-point games, too.

8 games with 4 assists or more for rookie 7 ft player. Just think about that for a sec

And if you look at his stats as of recent its been better especially the rebounding

I disagree, but your opinion is clearly the majority opinion on this blog.

It will be easier to judge who is better by next year, when both get into better shape. Both have their own advantages and both have similarities such has high motor and IQ.

I feel danny/stevens will give them all the chances in the world to succeed together. Thats stevens these days has been playing them together alot and more and more in crucial situations

Last night its too bad Sully wasn't feeling great. Because the last time the celts played the spurs, he was giving Duncan all he can handle on both ends

Offensively they complement each other nicely. And their BBIQs should help them coordinate a decent defense despite their limitations, but we shall see, as you say.

Yes, Emeka Okafor. A solid big coming out of college who had several productive seasons, and whose game fell off a cliff by age 27 because of back issues.

Which part of this doesn't ring a bell?

[Birdman]

nope...unless u working to get a top 5 pick every year

[vjcsmoke]

Lebron won't come to Boston.  I could see Olynyk as a valuable 6th man for us in the future if he continues to develop.  A good passing, high bbiq 4 who can stretch the floor a bit.

The "floor" part.  Okafor averaged a double double his first 5 or so years in the league.  There are rarely more than 15 or so guys who ever average a double double in a season. How many fewer do it 5 years in row? The idea that Sully, whom I like, is somehow guaranteed to be at least that good is delusional.

  That's why you're expecting Sully to have more back problems by the time he's 27?

You do realize Kelly plays 18-20mins a game and gets those 5 rebounds, while Green plays almost double that?? I wouldn't use Green there but since you did...
