1.Cousins
2.Embiid
3.Jokic
4.Gobert
5.Kat
6.?
7.?
8.?
9.?
10.?

He has easily been the Heat's most important player this season. Consider these numbers:

6th among centers in RPM(#3 in offensive RPM)
Has a BPM score of 3(the impact of a star)
The Heat with KO on the floor outscore opponents by 7.4 points per 100 possessions.

Also, in the month of March he's averaging 13.5 PPG 6.4 REB 4.7 AST to 1.6 TO a game.

Consistency my friend. Consistency

Too many times throughout his career he'll look like a stud one night, then a scrub the next

Because more than 10 Centers better than him exist.

To add to your list, Drummond, Whiteside (your own center), Dwight, Adams, Turner and I'm sure I could keep going if i tried but they're all just simply better than Olynyk

Kelly Olynyk is skilled enough to be a top 10 center. But hes just way too inconsistent and differential overall.

I dunno if he is top 10 or what but he is really really sneaky good. I don't know why he is not starting, and I understand lineup and rotation makes him a bench players for the heat but it still baffles me that this guy is not starting for some team he is too good.

He's been very consistent for the Heat.

Capela, Adams, Horford, Drummond and DJ are also firmly ahead of him. Possibly top 15 but not top 10.

Realistically, he is not even a center..

If he's really a top 10 center he'd find more than 23 minutes/ game.

Capela is a system player and DJ is one-dimensional.

Oh yeah, because Olynyk does a lot of things more besides shooting long 2s and 3s...

AD, Hassan, Embiid, Boogie, Jokic, KAT, Drummond, Capela, Gobert, Val, Marc, Horford, Dwight, Adams. Love, Porzingis and Favors can be counted ad centers as well? Turner?

Vucevic, Kanter, Lopez - debatable.

And you are way too harsh on Capela and DJ, even if they are system players and one dimensional - they are specialists in the dimension that is utmost needed as centers in this era.
