Dude just has it. Going at Wemby as a rookie is ballsy.
They will continue to respect him because he's white and the shot looks good. It's not a Cody/Collier thing where the misses make you laughIt's encouraging that he's not just robotically moving the ball or lobbing grenades, he's trying to look for an advantage each time. That's the sign of a potential offensive hub.
However... his passing lanes have been open largely because the league still respects him like's s shooter and guys are all up in his grill. That won't last long if he doesn't start showing he can put the ball in the basket in the NBA. Flip shot 31% from the arc in college, which isn't great at all. Getting a working NBA 3pt shot is something that will make or break him in the league since he doesn't have an athletic advantage.
Olynyk was a good shooter and that's what opened up his driving and passing.
