Start Zeller or Smart or both after Rondo trade.

Start Zeller at point, eh?
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

KO is not much of center in traditional way.  Its new for him , NBA  level,  he just seems more comfortable as a forward. 

He slaps at the ball like a guard ,  tries to use quick arm speed like a small man,

He needs to look at himself in the mirror and realize he isn't 6 ft tall.

He isn't skinny ,  he is just too soft yet .....especially mentally , to deal with NBA biggest tuff guys.in the paint.   

Zeller has been trained since day one , to be a center and think like one.


KO is a good guy, but unless he changes drastically his mindset , he isn't play n center in the NBA

Trying to force Olynyk to be a traditional center may work out as well as trying to force Bradley to be a traditional point guard.  Like Bradley, Olynyk has a unique skill set.  Maybe the right way to use him is to embrace his strengths and encourage him to play as a very non-traditional big man, instead of assigning him a role based solely on height.

I would start Olynyk and Zeller together.
They looked really good together in the preseason.

While I have never had much confidence in Olynyk at C, I don't think this is something that matters much with this team. One thing for sure -- I want to see Olynyk get every chance to develop.
