Scoreless in preseason debut Olynyk went scoreless (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt) but ended up with six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 22 minutes in Sunday's 114-82 loss against the Raptors.

Pistons acquiring Bojan Bogdanović from Utah Jazz in trade

The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade to send veteran forward Bojan Bogdanović to the Detroit Pistons for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022

Shipped to Utah in Bogdanovic deal Olynyk was traded to the Jazz from the Pistons on Thursday along with Saben Lee in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Utah continues to dismantle its core in the wake of dealing both Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell earlier in the offseason. Bringing in Olynyk provides the Jazz with much-needed depth up front, and there's a reasonable chance that Olynyk could win the starting center job out of training camp. If that's the case, the Gonzaga product could be in for a significant bounceback season after mostly floundering in his lone year with the Pistons. Two seasons ago, Olynyk split time between Houston and Miami and posted a combined 13.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 made threes in 28.5 minutes per game (70 total games).
