Tidbits from Kelly Olynyk's European tour with Team Canada

As we've mentioned before, Kelly Olynyk is currently playing for the Canadian National Team in a series of exhibition games in Europe (Canada did not qualify for this summer's FIBA World Cup).  Besides getting his foot stuck in a billboard, here's what else has been going on:
