Is Olynyk a taller Joe Ingles?

Tall white guys with limited athletic ability, but great court awareness, hustle, willingness to play a little dirty, good passer, and a good outside shooter.

Nah doesn't have Joe's play-making, nor his trash-talking ability. A poor man's tall Ingles maybe.
 
Hahaha .. you mean cos they’re both white?

Jokes aside nah he doesn’t pass like Ingles does.

no But kinda serves a similar purpose as far as a glue guy / ball mover who helps the team function and can hurt the other team individually

this. Great post. Can probably end the thread at this point.
 
They’re not really all that similar but Olynyk is better than Ingles.
 
I like both guys a lot for their play and freewheeling personalities. They do have similarities in their unselfish approach to the game. I’m just glad that Ainge and maybe Hardy remembered Olynyk’s Boston/Miami glory days and decided to jumpstart his career. He’s been a fantastic addition!
 
He's definitely a upgrade to Bogey, who I think is the better comparison. His shooting is, incredibly, better, at least for the present. His defense is clearly better... love the willingness and care to take the charge... and his scrappiness is waaay higher. And that doesn't even mention his height advantage. Being able to play 3 (4 if you count Vando) 7 footers together is ridiculous.

Didn't figure any of that when we acquired him.

I think bogey is the better shooter but KO takes better (more open) threes so that helps KO’s percentage. Plus bogey takes way more 3’s volume wise.

More like a white man version of old man Al Horford. Not the prime version. But at this point of Horford's career, Olynyk is probably a better player

Olynyk is not the volume shooter or scorer like Bogey though. Only shoots about 3 threes a game. If he doubles his 3P attempts, his percentage is gonna drop. But yeah KO is a better all around player than Bogey.
 
I love what KO brings to the team but I dont think he is Joe or Bogey. Plays a different role but would have been a great stretch 4 on our previous team. I dont think he is as good as Bogey or Joe in his prime but if he plays all year like he has the first part of this season it could be a different story.
