The Kelly Olynyk experience in Boston has been a maze between injuries, hope and astonishment alongside numerous switches from man-buns to headbands.
It was an adventure from the beginning, when the Celtics swapped a rookie with a dazzling head of hair, Lucas Nogueria, in the 2013 NBA Draft along with two second-rounders for a seven-footer out of Gonzaga. Dirk Nowitzki comparisons spawned, yet what followed was more comparable to Jeff Green’s career in Boston than the legend’s playing time in Dallas.
Nobody could see it that night, as Olynyk and his blond locks were not even present for the selection.
