I'd rather go after Ilyasova, Teletovic, Booker, Mozgov, Mahinmi, Hill, Miles Plumlee ....


He's replaceable.

Agree, TP.

For this specific series it's a bad matchup for Sully.  Both Horford and Milsap aren't the beefy guys that Sully normally does ok against.   If we somehow make it to the next round he may play a much more integral role in the series.

I call BS and I have stats to back it up.

Like he played well in April?  Better look at this stats in the last 10 games or so leading up the post season, and we were not playing the Hawks, and he was bad.  He has had 3 good games since 3/20.  1 where he got in double figure and 9 where he posted single digits.  He also was shooting in the lows 40s which stinks for a PF and saw his RPG in April dwindle down to 4.6 a game.

He is a bad match for the NBA game, which is an athlete's game and years of neglect are sadly catching up to him.

I'm starting to like him less than I did BBD. I was so excited to draft him, too, but he's pretty much the opposite of as-advertised: lazy, low character, and not particularly smart. So much for the "coach's son" stereotype.
Satch Sullinger seems to be a lot more interested in excusing away his son's failures and piling on the team than making sure that Sullinger Jr. doesn't eat his way out of the NBA, so there's that.

I liked Davis a lot more than I've ever liked Sullinger.
Why what's his dad say?

"I think next year he's going to finally get to play his true position of power forward. And so, at that point, he's going to come home and he's going to trim down and shed some pounds, so he gets a quicker step and a little more mobility. Because they've kind of promised him that they're going to get a center."
So papa sully, if we add a true center (pick anyone) that leaves for pf spot Amir, kelly, Jj, sully and also crowder and Mickey.  Maybe it's just me but I see sully currently as our 4th best option at pf not counting small ball crowder.  If he looses the weight I don't see him being that much quicker.  He's a Boris Diaw type player but not showing the smarts that Boris has
