Not everyone figured out how to spell Dwyane after 13 years. Don't get your hopes up about this one.
Elite Heat fans will do it right hough

He will be #4?
Rony Seikaly and Harold Miner wore that number. Who else?

Don't sweat it, OP. Kelly's nickname will come naturally once the training staff get to him.

Dude who did the mockup originally had him rocking #41...
...HEAT twitter predictably wasn't down with that, so he changed it to #4.

Two scouts assess Heat addition Olynyk; Olynyk nuggetsBarry Jackson | Miami Herald
July 7, 2017
Chatter on 7-foot center/power forward Kelly Olynyk, who agreed to a four-year, $50 million contract with the Heat on Thursday night:
• I asked two longtime NBA scouts this morning to assess his game and his fit with the Heat. The scouts requested anonymity because they are not authorized by their teams to speak.
Their feedback:
Scout No. 1: “Good signing. Not very athletic but very smart. He can obviously shoot. Above-average passer. Kind of got a funky game. I don't think defensively he's great. At best, he is an average defender. Average rebounder. He is a stretch four or five. Not a postup guy. He’s not really a driver. He’s a passer and a three-point guy.
“Four years for $50 million for a big guy, a rotation guy or starter, is a good deal. You can argue he should have gotten James Johnson’s deal (four years, $60 million), and James should have gotten Olynyk’s. He can be a key rotation player on good teams.
“Is he more than an average starter is the question to me? I like him better as your third big in a perfect world. But they have pretty good depth there.”
Scout No. 2: “I would have paid him $8 million per year, not [a bit over $12 million]. They overpaid but that’s what you have to do today. Solid NBA player. A role player. I don't think he’s a legit starter on a good team. Coming off the bench is where his strength is. You need better players on the floor with him to compete for a playoff spot.
“He's a pretty good perimeter shooter, not a great one. For his size, he can stretch the defense. Sets good screens. Good pick and roll player. A good passer.
“Not very good defensively. He has a hard time guarding big guys inside because he has slow feet. He can’t score in the post. Best as a backup rotational player on a good team.”...

OLY-NYK that's how I'd remember it. Perfect name for the Knicks obviously.

Olynyk had a great 15-16 season, a bit down last year when Oldford came in and took some of his duties. I think this will play out well for the Heat.
