A look at the season's breakout Ballers after the preseason games

7. Kelly Olynyk; Boston Celtics

Six Games: 9.8 points, 4 rebounds, 53.2 percent shooting

While Kelly Olynyk may not have been starring in the preseason, he has done enough to garner some attention.

Despite putting up stellar college and summer league performances, Olynyk has had more than his fair share of detractors. He played in a mid level conference and as we all know, summer league is nowhere near NBA basketball. However, the preseason is here and Olynyk is still putting up good numbers.

The detractors sure seem to be less now.

If he continues this into the regular season, he is a sure bet to be one of the league’s top rookies. He’ll have the playing time to do so on a poor Celtics team, and he has repeatedly put up good numbers despite increasingly talented competition.

The above numbers are deceiving as he barely got to play during the first two games. In the last four games, however, he is averaging 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds on 59.5 percent shooting in 24 minutes a night.

Olynyk has passed the summer league AND the preseason test with flying colours and he seems ready for his rookie/ breakout season.
