Where did Kelly Olynyk's jump shot go?
In last night's disappointing loss to Detroit, Kelly Olynyk went 1-for-9 from the field and 0-for-3 from three-point land. The only basket he made was a dunk. He scored a total of four points in 29 minutes (although he did chip in nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks).
Four of Olynyk's last five games have been absolutely brutal:
If you eliminated a 20-point night in OKC on Wednesday, Olynyk would have seven points on 2-for-27 shooting in his last four games.

Yikes.
Granted, the OKC game did happen (Kelly shot 7-for-13 and 3-of-6 from deep in that one), but in his other four most recent outings he's a combined 0-for-10 on three-pointers with the following field goal shooting lines:
1-for-6
0-for-6
0-for-6
1-for-9
Yikes again.
Since returning from his ankle injury 11 games ago, Olynyk's shooting numbers are terrible across the board: .302 from the field, .257 on threes and .538 at the free-throw line. For comparison, over his first 40 games Olynyk's percentages were .506, .353 and .682.
Would the real Kelly Olynyk please stand up?
