Sully better grow that wingspan if he wants to live up to the Elton Brand comp.

His wingspan/reach really aren't all that bad, though. Not freakish by any means, but not bad at all.

Yeah, its not really bad, just not any better than average. He's the exact same height as Davis without shoes (6'7 and 3/4), but 30 lbs lighter, and a longer reach.

Just saying, he's going to need to pick a better comp - Elton Brand had the reach of a center in a PF's body.

Needs to pattern his game after Kevin Love, Paul Millsap, Carl Landry...

Sounds like a good, excited kid. I like the Elton Brand self-comparison as well.
Elton Brand?  I dont see that.  Brand coming out of college was twice the player Sullinger is

I love how he's got "no lift" but his vertical is 29" (no step) to 31" (max). That's not outstanding but it's not terrible either. Love's is slightly better .. . Boozer's is slightly worse. Sullinger's reach is slightly better than Love's and Boozer's.

Even though he compares to these power forwards ... there's something about his old man's game that reminds me to Paul Pierce. Cool that PP was one of his favorites growing up.

Elton Brand was not twice the player Sullinger is coming out of college, come on now.

Maybe if you want to talk potential in the NBA or something you could at least have an argument but Sullinger had a great college career.
