When starting point guard Immanuel Quickley stepped away from the Toronto Raptors, it was not obvious who would set up the team’s offence. All-star forward Scottie Barnes usually took over play-making duties with the team’s second unit, but he was already out with a broken hand. Kelly Olynyk stepped up and led the team with 11 assists in a recent game, helping the young players and keeping the flow of the offense. Olynyk has been performing well as a playmaker, with 43 assists in his last five games, the most in his career.
