2012 Draft

[NtG]

really? i wouldnt. sullinger has hit 2-2 from 3s today, and i think he could be a nice stretch 4 in the nba. i dont see his upside being as high as PJ3, but his floor is tons higher than PJ3s. you know what you are getting with sullinger: rebounding and a 4 who can hit jumpers. i think he would be great in pick and pop situations. makes free throws. if hes available in the 10-12 area i think thats kind of a steal.

Sullinger will be solid in the NBA, but he is not going to be a star. The way I see it, we need that 2nd star to put next to Irving in this draft and there is maybe 6-7 guys that would fit, Sullinger not being one of them.

i dont think he would fit the best on our team, even though the irving-sullinger pnr would be lethal since he can hit that midrange j. in the 10-12 range, sullinger would be great value though. i think he could average maybe around 18-8 or somewhere around there in the nba.

I think Sullinger is someone that can contribute faster than most of the other prospects in the draft. But there a bunch of power forwards I would take over him. Davis, Robsinson, Henson, and Jones of the top of my head. I would even take tweener Terrance Jones over him.

Sullinger needs to develop his low post game more than most. He lost 20 lbs and is still not explosive at all. It's good that he's developed the jumper but he's got to have some reliable moves down low. If I were him I'd stay another year and work on that, as well as continuing to hit the weight room to transform more of that flab into muscle.

I like Sullenger but I don't think he's going to be a huge force in the NBA. He reminds me a lot of Boozer, probably has more range on his jump shot and less attitude.

hes considered by most draft experts to have the best low post game in all of college basketball.

I see a bit too much of Sean May in Sullinger. Makes me a bit uncomfortable with him as a prospect

He doesn't really have any go to moves though...just throwing his weight around and powering through guys. That's why he struggles whenever he comes up against someone with the size to hold their position.
That little hook shot was good...if he can consistently do that with some control, that would be big. A lot of the time he throws up an out of control hook shot.

Seeing Jared Sullinger's lack of aggressiveness on the glass and how upright he looks at all times, I have to wonder if he's 100% healthy?

[3 Da Hard Way]

A lot of hate for Sully ...I doubt we target him anyway

But he has the moves in the post... Hard to do your moves when you get doubled/triple teamed every time. He's gotten good looks over Sacre , NBA prospect... 18 points on 9 shots... What else do yall want from the kid?

Could be...he looked to be in pain after that last foul in the backcourt.

[IWantAKouki]

I barely watch college basketball but from what I have seen he has great awareness and ability to find open teammates. For the Princeton offense, that's great. He would be good if he could play C.

[CleveRocks]

He is having a terrible game today. Looks gassed and weak...

[Chris]

Seriously, every time Sullinger gets the ball I see 3 guys swarm him and he still puts up the numbers. I don't get the hate at all. I don't want him particularly, but the venom towards him is just a bunch of arm chair GMs.

[Erbium]

I don't foresee Sully being a star, but I think he can be a better version of Glen Davis..in other words he seems to have low bust potential, and is prob a lock to be a rotational player right off the bat.

That said....I don't see how you draft that package in the top 10 picks of a strong draft
