David Thorpe: Sullinger "Most impressive of the Summer"

[snively]

He seems to have that unique feel for the rim and how to get the ball there -- like when Al Jefferson came on board -- though without Al's sleek/agile frame.  Love that he has great hands.
 
Maybe sort of an Al/Baby combo -- 'Big-Al-Baby'?.

TP, lol.  Funny.  He's so much taller, he has to be better than baby.  seems like his outside touch is already better, too, right?

They are actually identical heights according to combine measurements.

People keep talking about Sully's great post scoring ability, his offensive prowess and beastliness. Where in the heck is it? This is the same guy throwing up prayer jump hooks all SL. Who shot 35%. Great post scorers do not shoot 35% in the SL. I'm sorry people are just talking crazy here..

Well, there is a pretty large sample size of him putting up a 59% TS% as the go to guy for a major college program. 

The 35% shooting was worrisome but it's not the final word.  I expect he'll be a mediocre paint finisher early in his career (as both Kevin Love and Big Baby were), but he'll boost his weak shooting efficiency by getting to the line and keeping his turnovers low.

Let me just say this (because I don't wanna argue all day), we are the only team to play TWO SL!! All those games played, our guys were exhausted! The players anyone should expect to be the most tired would be the bigs who played a lot (over 24mins a game was Sully)! The bigs were actually playing defense and banging with each other (especially Sully with as much as he got to the line)... the perimeter players barely got touched, they had plenty of time to chuck every shot! Then factor in the double and triple teaming that went down on Sully... guy played solid basketball!

It's summer league.   He will have a chance in real league.   No one will be able to double him if he is playing next to KG.   

But I recall him always struggling with real bigs in college to some degree.   It is what it is folks.   He is still productive though and tends to produce in other areas like the boards regardless.   We've all seen the game where the Kansas dude was blocking him all over.   It's going to happen at times in the pros.   Everyone has limitations, while I think he has some issues with it, I do not think he will be as bad as Big Baby was with it.  One thing about this kid is he doesn't back down or settle for jumpers when he gets one blocked.  He keeps grinding. 

I am very happy with his rebounding.  I like how active his hands are on D too.   I think he could get like a steal or two a game.  Any points are gravy folks.

Double teams happen in even at low levels nowadays folks.  My kid gets triple teamed in grade school sometimes.   I got double teamed and zones loaded up on me when I played.  If you can play you will be targeted by the defense.   Some act like this is the first time that he ever faced a double team and that is not even remotely true.

hows his back doin..

not being negative..im jus sayin

[Celtics4ever]

So far I have heard nothing.  He does not move like a gimp or anything.   One would never know about his back watching him play.

Only height is given for Davis. Pretty sure Sulinger has longer arms, taller reach and bigger hands.

Sullinger's game/athleticism reminds me of a young Zach Randolph.  I do not see any reason why he cannot develop into that level of player.
