ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk has become a staple in the frontcourt of a Boston Celtics team that surprisingly sits three games above .500 as of Christmas day. His minutes have increased as of late, and his 16.9 player efficiency rating is the second best on the team. However, the Celtics' big man is wildly inconsistent. In 11 games so far in December, he has scored at least 15 points in six games and fewer than 10 in the other five. He isn't ever necessarily inefficient, he just occasionally disappears from the action. When he is heavily involved in the game, he has performed at a high level. Olynyk is shooting 54% from the floor this month, including 16 for 35 from beyond the three-point line. His athletic ability is not in question-- his putback dunk over Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams turned quite a few heads. As Olynyk continues to find his role on the floor and produce at a more consistent rate, his fantasy value should increase.
