He’s a very skilled offensive player and defenses can’t leave him alone out to the 3 point line. I would like him also as a hedge against Maxi being actually eternally cooked upon return, in that Olynyk enables us to play 5 out with someone larger than Grant Williams (who I think will still play some small ball 5 for us regardless.)
He would be an upgrade offensively, but our biggest issues with the second unit are defense and rebounding, and he doesn't really help with either. The Maxi appeal was that he could allow for 5 out on offense and provide high level defense on the other end.
