20 Under 25 Candidates: Kelly Olynyk

Share

For most of his career in Boston, Kelly Olynyk has shown flashes of being that difference-making, stretch big that the Celtics -- and so many other teams -- covet.

But the knock on him was, and is, his inability to be more consistent. It’s not like Olynyk has a good game or two and then opponents start adjusting to him. More often than not, Olynyk has a tendency not to bring the level of aggression to a game that would only be amplified by his skills. Olynyk is just in his third season, so he's still figuring out how to be the best NBA player he can be. Being more consistent with his aggression will be huge for him both short-term and potentially long-term with the Celtics.

Boston still has a tremendous amount of confidence in Olynyk, and is open to keeping him in the fold for a long time.
