Targeting Kelly Olynyk (Canadian) in the draft can be a good move

As to Olynyk being compared to Bargs... why? Size, color, and shooting range aside, KO > AB. Why? WORK ETHIC. He may not be the most mobile big in the upcoming draft, but his work ethic alone is good sign. Let's not discount that he'd be a good Canadian face for the franchise. WORK ETHIC and high basketball IQ.
As for Pagnos, I do like him, but I don't see him getting drafted... sooooooo, the Raps might even be able to get him on the cheap as a training camp invite. He'd project as a 2nd-3rd string and would be a cheap Calderon clone.@Chr1st1anL

I truly don't understand these comments.
You guys should truly be NBA scouts, as you clearly know something all of us, and most NBA scouts don't.

Watching this Gonzaga-Wichita game. He's struggling at the rim again. This is a scary trend.Twitter - @thekid_it

Zags are finished. The tourney this year is crazy.
Looks like these two games is what we're left with for our final impression of Olynyk.Twitter - @thekid_it

Pretty disappointed with the way Pangos played. Olynynk was fine but, man, he missed some easy shots. Zags are a two-man team. Too easy to stop.

And I'm with you on KO for sure. He's got the tools and the smarts to only improve and adapt at the NBA level.Twitter - @thekid_it

And the footwork, and up-and-unders are all very similar as well.

So I'm not sure 'Bad' is the right word to describe his game around the hoop. Lol

I may have a Canadian bias on it, and he looked over-matched in his last game, but I don't believe you can teach work ethic. Do I think AB has talent? Yes! He has a lot of talent.
Having a player like KO though who could have just ridden the pine at Zag instead of red-shirting, that speaks a lot about a player wanting to improve.
Talent is good, talent and hard work is better.
