Kelly Olynyk vs Frank Kaminsky

[Tr1boy]

These guys games are like Markief and Marcus Morris lol. Like twin effect

Kaminsky looks dangerous. He has improved his body in a short amount of time. Good handles. Nice shooting stroke (cleaner than KO). high bbiq. 

Honestly I told you folks that this guy is going to be a talent

Who played better yesterday?  Kaminsky looks like is better offensively as a rookie vs Kelly.  Like Kelly not that great defensively though.   Kelly moves a little better on the defensive end (anticipation etc) prob due to playing the point when he was younger. Kaminsky has better shot blocking and rebounding potential thanks to a longer wingspan and reach.

I wonder once these guys both past their 3rd year mark, who will be a better overall player.

Kaminsky has uncommon skills for a big man, but I wasn't particularly excited by his game last night.  23 points on 9/20 is just a decent game to me.  He shot a lot and made just enough to keep from getting put back on the bench.

Olynyk had 20 on 7/10 - MUCH better efficiency - and also pulled in a couple more rebounds.  He had the much better game.

Kaminsky can't do this!

I thought Kelly looked like the better ball handler, and passer. Both shoot effectively from beyond the 3 pt. line.

Frank's body has improved since his college days, and seems bigger than Kelly, more definition. Both could use a hook shot to score in the interior. I think as their career moves on Frank may have the tougher mind set, while still being a rookie. Kelly is in his 3rd year.   

Kelly has the hair thing happening though.

I like both. Kaminsky is more of a true center, but I'm not sure he is going to bulk up the way Olynyk has. Kaminsky seems to be a better shot-blocker though. His back-to-the basket post game is better too.

Olynyk is a different player. He has the ability to play both forward spots also, which Kaminsky can't do. He is a better passer and play-maker than Kaminsky ever will be. Also, Olynyk can do a bit more with his jumpshot (fade-aways, step-backs, coming off down screens for jumpers, etc.) than Kaminsky.

They have their similarities, but they bring different strengths to their team. I like our guy a bit better, especially because of his dedication to improve his athleticism and game. Not that Kaminsky won't dedicate himself too, but I like that Olynyk has a track record of hard work and improvement at the NBA level.

Kelly's better. I still remember those who thought Kaminsky was a 5. He, like Olynyk, is a stretch 4.

Scal a few times compared the two yesterday by saying Olynyk was more skilled.

who knows what the future will hold for them. but they are similar types of players. olly seems to drive better and pass  better right now. ha, ha...maybe an olly/kammy rivalry will emerge in the future.

I don't think Frank is a stretch 4.  He could be a stretch 5, but he doesn't have the athleticism to chase real stretch 4s on the perimeter

Frank moves in sLLoooooooO. Motion.

Not so bad at college level.......but he stick out like a sore thumb....at the NBA level

His first step oozes slow ......takes him a long tine by NBA studs to get up to max speed.

Kelly is no IT .....but he moves like a dancer compared to the plodding Kaminsky

Kelly has offensive potiental Frank just will never have , as he just isn't as nimble and graceful as Kelly.

Frank is tall and wider and may be a better knock down shot one day.

[Tr1boy]

frank is a little bit better of a ball handler. I mean a guy his size doing behind your back moves is rare.

Kaminsky is a good passer. Yeah but not as sneaky good as Kelly.  that dribble quick bounce pass to sully under the basket is a rare to see from a 7 footer

[footey]

Kelly has a much better all around game, not as mechanical as Kaminsky.  Kaminsky probably a better 3 point shooter, marginally. I'd rather have Olynyk on my team.
