That'd be awesome! Big men generally aren't invited to that thing are they, at least not in proportions to guards right?

Sweet.

Gotta admit that I'm starting to fall for Olynyk's game. He's been making a push to almost be our second best scorer lately.

Still needs to get tougher on the glass.

He should be, not necessarily because he's been good from 3 this year, but more so because the game is in Canada. They should feature a local guy who's among the top of the league in 3-point percentages.

KO sounds like is embracing the challenge.

What's up with Wiggins on the other hand?

Eh, more guards and wings than bigs participate for sure, but I don't think it's it out of proportion to the number of bigs who are actually good 3 point shooters.  Love and Dirk are past champions, and Channing Fry, Ryan Anderson, Matt Bonner, and our boy Antoine have all participated in the past.

KO is currently tied for 6th in 3PT FG% for the season.  Technically he should definitely be invited to the contest.

Throw in the Canada ties and it seems like a no brainer. Lets hope the NBA doesn't drop the ball on this one.

Agreed on accounts of his performance and ASW in Canada. His set-shot is well suited for a 3 point contest, too. Cannot BELIEVE we have an all-star PG and the 3 pt contest winner on this team right now.  ;D

The only site that mentions this 'news' is the source in the post, and this is not among the most reliable. I would not take this too seriously altho clearly Kelly's shooting is impressive lately.

Would love that...really, really like KO's game and his low key good guy personality...he's moving very quickly on my "I'm not trading this guy" list...now if he could only be a little more aggressive and consistent...

If he hits his 1st shot - look out.  If he misses, he'll miss them all.

Good for Kelly, anything that will give him confidence.

Almost be? He already is. He's second (well) behind IT in scoring rate among the regular rotation players, and his TS% of .560 is right there with IT's .561, not far behind Crowder's .577. (AJ is higher, but at significantly lower volume.)

And KO's .437 from 3 is best on the team.

And yeah, he still needs to get tougher all around, but you can see progress also in that.

He might have a decent shot at winning if he doesn't pump fake, drive, stop, fake again and then shuffle his pivot foot.  ;)
