Convince me Sullinger is a top 5 pick

[Cammo101]

Sullinger compares more to Brand IMO than anyone else listed. Slightly underathletic, below the basket big man who gets by because he has basketball skill and IQ well above average.

Sullinger is the "last up the floor" because at 280 he's the size of an NFL DE while the other guys weigh about the same as an NFL DB. Why ya think they don't play guys who are 205 lb at DE in the NFL? Because POWER is part of ATHLETIC.

I'd have some doubts about John Henson as a 210 lb Power F. Sullinger? His "glaring Flaws" seem to have been missed by a lot of opponents. The guy could (and likely will) drop 10-15 lb as a pro. but his skillset is quite well rounded and impressive. Flaws or not...seemed he was double teamed much of the time,yet still tended to be near 20/10,and solid on D. I'd LOVE for GSW to get Sullinger.[/quote]

Wait so he should be given a pass cus he is 265? So does Bynum get a pass cus he is 7'1 and 310? No. Point being he will have to lose alot of the baby fat that he has right now. Even he knows that. The lose of baby fat made him a much better player this year. A face up game would do him wonders since he lacks athletism.

I see Sullinger as a 16/8 player, somewhere along the lines of David West in his prime. Very solid pick IMO

I don't see Jared Sullinger as a top ten pick. He will never be really good in the nba.

most top 10 picks aren't even really good NBA players

depending on the draft, if you aren't picking around the top 3-5 you should be thrilled with getting a decent rotational player

Hes a poor mans Corlis Williamson currently. What his cieling is is a big question. I wouldnt touch him with a 10 ft pole.

Too many red flags. I think Sullinger's stock was higher last year and he should've declared coz he was projected as a top 5 pick back then

He doesnt have the same production in his sophomore year. Still kinda fat, short for his position, unathletic and a very poor help defender

Scouts and GMs tend to be more tolerant toawrds freshmen, now i dont see Sullinger worths a top 10 pick.

To be very honest, i think Cody Zeller's stock may also fall next year. He should've declared.

His stats didn't drop for starters. He already shedded some of the weight off and did improve his blocks significantly (from 20 to 39) not only that Sullinger showed a three point jumper. He almost never got single teams because the talent around him was a lot weaker than last year, and he did more than hold his own, if anything I would say his stock is up. Anyone that knows basketball knows he is easily worth a top 10 pick and the second best big in this draft.

Too many Sean May comparisons. Only way I'm picking him is if he drops to the second round. The Bobcats definitely do not need another Sean May mistake.

I think the bobcats will be drafting Anthony Davis, unless they get unlucky and lose their first pick.

I just really hope the Warriors don't draft Sullinger if they get to keep their top 7 pick. I doubt they would though.

[UnderdogKnicks]

Sullinger will be a very good NBA player just not anything special hes top 10 worthy. This guy is way better than Sean May but the amount of his shots keep getting blocked is very concerning.

[No-Man]

If Cleveland pick it's a 7th for example, I can see them drafting Sully, they own another 1st from LA so they can grab a wing there, also they have a early 2nd and their own 2nd, I think they will try to get both Sully and Buford.

Irving-Gibson
Parker-Buford
Taylor-Gee-Casspi
Sullinger-Thompson-Haragondy
Varejao-Ezeli-Samuels

That's nice

Ummm, no. No way they waste a #7 pick on another PF, let alone Sullinger. Nor would they pass up on a wing, unless Barnes, Kidd-Gilchrist, Beal, Lamb, etc. are all gone.

[AQuintus]

I think the bobcats will be drafting Anthony Davis

Even with the worst record, the Bobcats still have a 75% chance of not getting the 1st pick.

Definitely not a top 5 pick.
