BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk made the cut by a hair. But he did it, which talks badly of you fantasy GMs out there. This guy should be rostered in way more than just half of Yahoo leagues, and if he's still available in your league then you and your leaguemates are definitely whiffing big time.
Peep at Olynyk's numbers since the start of March, and you'll get an idea of why I'm dropping the take I opened this post with: 25, 45, 39, 30, 43, 43, and 14 FP in seven games with a 13-7-3-2-1 average line. Other than that shitty outing against Atlanta last Wednesday (it must be said he only played 18 minutes getting into foul trouble), Olynyk has just thrived. I know it is cheating, but if we remove that stupid Atlanta game from the equation then Olynyk's numbers would be at 15-8-3-2-1 in the same span, which isn't quite the jump but still amounts to a nice few extra FP nightly.
Olynyk is not only playing well, but he's also making the rumor mill daily these days. Miami is seemingly after Kyle Lowry, Victor Oladipo, etc... and Olynyk could be one of the guys going the other way. We'll see, but whoever trades for Olynyk would do with plans to keep playing him in a starting role at C, so odds are he keeps his numbers up. Make sure you have Olynyk in your roster before it's too late.
