2013-14 HoopsHabit NBA All-Rookie Team
By Nathan Giese
C- Kelly Olynyk, Boston Celtics
Much like all of the other rookies in the top of their class, Kelly Olynk has dealt with a struggling Boston Celtics squad all season long. Despite some injuries this season, Olynyk has been a solid player all season.
Olynyk ranks seventh among rookies in points, second in rebounds, sixth in 3-point shooting and sixth in field goal percentage. Boston hasn’t been fantastic this year but Olynyk has given the Celtics a bright future under new coach Brad Stevens. Kelly can score inside and outside and helps spread the floor on offense.
As long as Kelly Olynyk keeps getting more playing time he should be a consistent offensive hand for Boston next season. He’s done well this season for his limited minutes and has earned a nod for first team All-Rookie.
