Will this finally be Olynyk's year?

[Moranis]

That 44 point outburst happened with Rondo playing all 53 minutes of an overtime game.  The "playoff rondo" myth started during an offseason in which he literally averaged an absurd 42.6mpg.   Rondo has since been exposed.  The myth is dead.  If you shovel 43 minutes per night into him and let him control the ball, he'll go right back to putting up epic stats.  More minutes + more touches = more stats.   I'd rather not get into it more than that.   I'm having flashbacks to when Tim went by the BBallEd name.  Let's leave the Rondo debates back in 2013 where they belong.

I still have faith that Oly could have a big season if his role becomes more defined and his minutes increase.   I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.

Sure he played more minutes that year, but his scoring per 36 was also higher so he did actually increase his output, just not appreciably.  And here is the thing his totals for that season were just 17 and 12.  He scored 44 points in a game and over 19 games averaged just 17 ppg.  That was my point then and is my point now.  Rondo was a terribly inconsistent player, who was so incredible when he was on that people just disregarded when he was off. 

Olynyk, like Rondo, is incredibly inconsistent, however unlike Rondo, Olynyk's peaks aren't HOF quality.  He could never take over and dominant a game like Rondo could, and that is why he won't ever be much more than he is right now i.e. a very nice 6th man/spot starter type player.

You use the term "incredibly inconsistent," but I think you'll find that if you did a look into consistency levels of payers around the league, there's nothing "incredible" about either Olynyk or Rondo's "inconsistency."

you may be right about Olynyk, but not Rondo, players don't often look like a HOF one game and a guy that belongs in the DLeague the next.  That was Rondo.

Olynyk is up and down a lot.  More than any other Celtic last year (at least to my recollection).  He might not be that strange across the league.  I did look at Ryan Anderson's 3rd year when he had around 22 minutes and otherwise somewhat similar stats.  Anderson was far more consistent that year than Olynyk was last year.
