My Take
Kelly Olynyk is the kind of player I quietly root for. At 213 cm he could have settled for being a big body in the paint, but he developed a passing touch and a shooting range that make him useful on almost any roster, which is why he's bounced around the NBA without ever being discarded. Captaining Canada's national team tells you how teammates see him. He's not a highlight machine or a marquee name, and that's precisely the appeal. I have a soft spot for the unglamorous, versatile professionals who hold a team together while the cameras look elsewhere.
