Boston Celtics second-year big man Kelly Olynyk was nominated for Eastern Conference Player of the Week but lost out to Atlanta's Al Horford.

Olynyk's stat line in Boston's four-game span last week that saw the team go 3-1: Team-best 19.8 points on 60.8 percent shooting overall (43.8 percent beyond the 3-point arc) with 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1 steal per contest. Olynyk scored a career-high 30 points during Monday's win in Philadelphia and was a team-best plus-52 in plus/minus this week.

Olynyk is the first Celtics player nominated for Player of the Week this season.

Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

So, Is KO the steal of his draft class?

I think he's guaranteed for another year. This does cement the fact that he is probably not as good at basketball as Jordan Crawford, though.

Yup. Who would in their right mind take Bennett over KO now?

Also, are we going to have a thread every time a Celtic doesn't win a fairly meaningless award?

Good point about Crawford. I understand that he isn't necessarily the next big thing, but surely he is good enough to land a bench role on an average team. He has averaged over 12 ppg and 3 apg in his career (across four teams). I can name 100 players he should be playing over...weird.

As for KO, good for him - a win yesterday would have sealed the deal. I hope he keeps it going.

If he could maintain it and I think he can't, he would get sixth man of the year.

To my understanding, Crawford was given a much more lucrative deal in the CBA than he would've received in the NBA.
