The first few days back at practice can be grueling for NBA players after returning from the leisure of a long offseason.

Conditioning-wise, Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens says “everybody is always in a different place.”

In Kelly Olynyk’s case, the third-year forward is in an advantageous position from a stamina standpoint, having just completed a successful FIBA Americas tournament run with Team Canada two weeks ago.

“I’ve been playing for a little bit now, I’m the flow of things,” Olynyk said prior to the C’s second day of practice on Sunday afternoon.
