Olynyk has always been a fantasy darling with his unique skillset from the center position, and it's hard to understand why he continues to move around so much. The big man was a reserve in Utah for the opening months of last season, but a trade to Toronto skyrocketed his value. The big man averaged 12.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.9 threes on 55 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free-throw line with the Raptors. That well-rounded stat line is why he carried so many fantasy managers to championships, but we saw him post similar numbers as a starter in the past. While we expect Toronto to struggle, those late-season numbers need to be examined. He did most of that damage with Jakob Poeltl and Scottie Barnes both injured, which will likely force Olynyk back to the bench to start the year. The one bit of good news is that he's the first player off the bench, and they could play him with those two big guys since Barnes and Olynyk can run the offense. There's also a chance that Toronto continues to blow things up because the rebuild isn't finished. Olynyk would likely be the first victim if more trades happened, and we'd have to assume a contender would want him in a reserve role as well. With all that said, Olynyk is a solid value in the final rounds of drafts.
