Through his first four years in the league, Olynyk has proven to be a viable contributor off the bench that can be an effective scorer at times from beyond the 3-point line while crashing the glass efficiently despite playing in a limited reserve role. His career averages currently sit at 9.5 points on 47.7 percent shooting from the field and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc with 4.7 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game.

His addition to any of these teams could see him continue to assume that role in each respective potential landing spot. It will be interesting to see what type of deals will be offered his way after completing his four-year rookie deal worth $9.3 million.

With the league salary cap rising once again, Olynyk may be in line for a decent priced long-term contract from each of these organizations looking to add more depth and scoring to their frontcourts.
