Me neither. Now I think he can find his place as a good rebounder, banger inside but he will never be a dominant force down low in the pros. Not athletic enough and his size will not be a factor against much bigger NBA competition. He looks overweight to me, too, btw. Dont get me wrong, I think he is a good kid and a very good player but in a deeper draft he wouldnt come close to the top three picks. I actually thought the Elton Brand comparison by Seth Davis was pretty solid in terms of Sullinger's max potential.
Overall I'm not surprised by the Tourney and that some prominent teams have gone down already. The year was really dominated by a lot of parity and now it shows in a very evenly matched Tourney. In terms of the Big East, I think a lot of their teams are just as vulnerable as many other teams. Especially the top teams this year. Everybody knew that Pitt had trouble with consistency, Syracuse hasnt been a smart team for years and their zone as good as it is makes them vulnerable for good shooting nights and Notre Dame with their burn offense was also much too reliant on the three pointer. Then you pair that with coaches who have questionable Tourney resumes like Brey and Dixon and then you get what you see now. I think the matchups actually were in their favor.
BTW I talked about Boeheim a couple of posts ago. Now I know a lot of people from the Cuse and he is obviously a god up there. What do you guys think about him?!? I think he gets a lot of talent but with the players he has he should have more consistent success year in and year out. Somehow I think he is a bit overrated. Sure, great career and everything but when I think some of his numbers are inflated due to longetivity... am I wrong??!
