I like that none of the comparisons I've seen on this kid really seem to fit. The Klynyk is a unique player. I'm starting to get excited about seeing him in Celtics green.
If he turns into Channing Frye/Ryan Anderson type of role player, I will be very happy and very surprised. Just don't know if he has that in him but my guess is this is what Danny envisions given his use of the word complimentary in describing the kid.
That's not what I see from him. He doesn't look like that type of strictly spot up shooter to me. I guess we'll see if his offensive versatility translates to the NBA. He's got limited athleticism and explosiveness, so the kind of moves he got away with in the Pacific Conference may be made to look foolish in the NBA.
On the other hand, there's more space to operate in the NBA, and I think he might have some stuff that ends up looking pretty genius. It depends on if he's smart enough and tough enough to find ways to use his skills against superior athletes.
I'm kind of starting to like his chances. It's funny how my evaluation of Kelly Olynyk went up quite a lot after draft night.
Green goggles? Yeah, I wear 'em.
