Judging by the threads that are continually popping up on this forum the answer should be Kelly Olynyk. Since coming to the Celtics 3 years ago the C's are +438 points with him on the floor and -528 points without him and virtually no one seems to have any understanding as to why or how. Apparently what he does is so intangible that they would rather trade him for a bag of chips than keep him.
I agree. I don't expect everyone to be all sunshine and cupcakes, but Olynyk is one of our guys. How about a little respect and support?
http://www.sportingcharts.com/nba/stats/individual-player-plus-minus-statistics/2015/That link has Kelly Olynyk at #41 for best plus-minus. He was +3.2 points per game and +5.6 points per 36 minutes.
I am hopeful Olynyk breaks out because he works hard and has a lot of talent. He is a late bloomer for a center and has improved dramatically on defense. He knows where to be. He has a very high ceiling on offense and is now entering his fourth year. Now is the worst time to sell low on Olynyk.
For those worried about resigning him, he is so unselfish he is probably holding back his stats because he wants wins over personal glory.
Sometimes I feel ashamed at some of things fellow Celtics fans write. Just don't act like you knew it could happen if he has a breakout year or simply does what he does and we pile up wins because of players like Kelly Olynyk.
Olynyk is a very good player. You'll see. There's no point in worrying about money and future contracts. This season can't start soon enough.
