We are all entitled to our own opinion. If Sullinger goes to the right team, loses 25 more pounds, and gets super hungry, he's an all-star.

I would be willing to bet he put almost all of what he lost in the offseason back on.

Azubuike24;1136852 wrote:Which would make him a complete bust. Love Chuck Hayes but he's in the league purely on heart and will. He's a 6'6 PF that has somehow made very good money. Sullinger is capable of a lot more.

As for his weight, he needs to gain about 15 pounds...of muscle. He's got like 20% body fat (just a guess) and is nowhere close to having the physique of players with similar size (Thomas Robinson, Terrrence Jones, James McAdoo) who are of very similar, or even inferior skills.

I find it a bit funny how everyone points out how Sully struggles against longer athletic types of players. Who the hell doesn't struggle against those kinds of players? lol

Unfortunately for Sullinger; New Orleans, Portland, Cleveland, Sacramento, Charlotte, Utah, Phoenix and Toronto aren't really in the market for PF's.

That leaves Washington, Detroit, and Milwaukee as potential fits. Barring some unlucky bounces of the ping pong balls, Washington should be picking way too high to take Sullinger. Which leaves only Detroit and Milwaukee as realistic destinations.

He would be replacing Illyasova in Milwaukee, who's played well but I'm not sure is NBA starter quality, and Jason Maxiel in Detroit who is complete trash. Both teams have good guard play(Knight and Stuckey in Detroit, Jennings and Ellis in Milwaukee) so hopefully that could help Sullinger out early.
