Is Olynyk a taller Joe Ingles?

I havent commented on this as I'm kind of on the fence with KO. His box out fundamentals are off and his rebounding is the biggest reason why I'm not sure.

Against Hawks Capela was playing volleyball with himself, winning boards and throwing bunnies way too much. Its not on KO alone, but if he is the guy guarding the center he needs to get between his man and the basket more consistently. Part of why Kessler looked so good coming in was that we were struggling so bad at our own rim. Its rare that you win a game where the opponent gets like 20 shots more than you.

Out of 59 players 6"10' or taller that play over 10 minutes (And KO plays 26.5!!!!), KO has the 2nd lowest rebounding percentage (7.9%). Only big guy that has a smaller portion of all rebounds in their average game is.... Franz Wagner.
 
The Horford comparison is actually a really good one. He is clutch, savvy, good passer, high IQ, etc. I have been very pleasantly surprised on how big of an impact he has made.
