Kelly Olynyk Contract

Kelly Olynyk is a Canadian basketball player who plays for the Toronto Raptors in the NBA. Born on April 19, 1991, in Toronto, Canada, Olynyk stands tall at 6 feet 11 inches and boasts an unique skill for a big man that has made him a valuable asset for several teams in the NBA.

Olynyk is a proficient center or power forward who can knock the shots from beyond the arc — skills that are highly coveted in the modern NBA. His successful 11-year career in the NBA is a testament to his significance as a "shooting big man," a role that has become increasingly vital in today's game. His journey in the NBA started when he was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 13th pick, and eventually traded him to the Boston Celtics on draft night.

During his four-year tenure with the Celtics, Olynyk made a great impact off the bench, showcasing his ability to stretch the floor and provide scoring prowess. His knack for shooting was further highlighted during his stint with the Miami Heat, where he once went off for a 30-point explosion off the bench in a double-overtime victory against the Denver Nuggets in March 2018. Olynyk was also a crucial part of the Miami Heat rotation when they went to the 2020 NBA Finals.

Beyond his NBA endeavors, Olynyk also represents the Canadian national basketball team, proudly donning the maple leaf on the international stage. He played for Canada in the 2023 FIBA World Cup and is set to compete in the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris. Now with his hometown team Toronto Raptors, Kelly Olynyk looks to make some noteworthy contributions in his last few remaining seasons in the NBA.
