How the hell can you pass on Sullinger at that point? I don't get it.

It's not even that I don't like Nicholson, or that I think it's a bad pick, it's just that... damn, Sullinger fell to us.

Because GM's realize he's a Glen Davis clone with potential back issues.

Nicholson will be a better NBA player than Sullinger.

This is all I hear in my head when I read your overreactions to a solid drafting night, and probably one of the best this team has had in quite some time.

yeah, i think Sullinger will go on to be very reliable, much like DeJuan Blair. C's did well to land him that late.

that said, i'm sure Hennigan has a vision, and clearly Sullinger didn't fit that vision?

I've only seen highlights, but looks like a solid pick.

I'm really starting to warm up to Nicholson, I still don't like the pick and I stay firm that I think he will be a solid player. Yet I'm really starting to warm up to his personality and I'm kind of excited to see him and O'Quinn in the summer league. I just don't know who to compare Nicholson to maybe Milsap or Landry and even some of Jamison.
