yeah, don't get the BBD comparisons. sullinger is taller, has a much longer wingspan, is not uber-athletic but worlds beyond BBD, and has post moves and footwork that put davis to shame.

They're both players with less than ideal height with concerns about their weight.

If Sullinger ends up as a taller, longer, more athletic version of BBD with a better attitude, rebounding, and shot selection, I would be very pleased.

im tired of everyone spouting how he "lacks athleticism" as some sort of black mark. athleticism is nice, but skill is better...Gerald green had all the athleticism in the world and he didnt pan out here.

and Sullinger has skill. he's probably the most polished post player in the NBA, AND he can step out and knock down the jumper

all that matters is if he can efficiently defend and score

He's already the most polished post player in the NBA? Dude hasn't even played a minute in summer league yet.

I meant in the draft....sully already is nba ready offensively
