Sully's 2014/2015 per 36 are pretty decent... 17/10 w/3assists and a block. Not bad... I think he's a solid player, if he gets his playing time this year he should put up decent stats again. The off season is such a bickering time, if the team is +500 and he's playing well you won't see many of these negativity threads.
You forgot a couple.
43.9% FG
28.3% 3PT
74.4% FT
Also if you want to play the Per-36 Game...
* Olynyk (16.6 / 7.7 / 2.8 / 1.6 / 1 / 47.5% / 34.9% / 68.4%)
* Lee (15.5 / 10.2 / 3.4 / 1.2 / 1.0 / 51.1% / 65.4%
* Johnson (12.6 / 8.3 / 2.1 / 0.8 / 1.1 / 57.4% / 41.3% / 61.2%
* Bass (16.2 / 7.4 / 1.9 / 0.8 / 0.6 / 50.4% / 28.1% / 79.0%)
* Zeller (17.3 / 9.7 / 2.4 / 0.4 / 1.1 / 54.9% / 82.3%)
Johnson is probably the only guy on that list who didn't have overall numbers right up there with Sully, and he's a guy who's famous for impacting the game in ways that don't show up on the box sheet.
So even with his nice Per-36 stats, he's still could easily be the 4th or 5th best big on this team once you factor in his defensive issues and his horribly inefficient (it really is HORRIBLY inefficient) offensive game.
still slow and can't jump and playing where he is weakest.
Great read by Jackie in Mar 2015.
The Celtics asked him to report to training camp this past October at 260-265 pounds, but instead he showed up 20 pounds heavier and gained even more weight as the season progressed.

selected quotes
The Celtics believe Sullinger weighed in excess of 300 pounds this season. The power forward balks at that number
"The heaviest I got was 298,'' he insisted.
He is told his team begs to differ.
"I didn't get over 300,'' Sullinger said. "I was close, but I didn't.''
He paused for a moment.
"Well, maybe one day I was ...'' he offered.
300 and gained weight during the season.
"I've got to get in the best shape possible. Not just for the Celtics, or basketball.
"I have to do this for myself."
How may times does Ainge put up with this crap, it is a broken record.
The competition in that league is beyond poor.
Wow, that's really bad...
I thought 280 was bad enough for a guy who's 6'9". Three hundred pounds for a 6'9" guy is like Oliver Miller big. That's not an athlete's body...that's the body of a average every day guy who needs to go on a diet.
It's actually in a way impressive that, with a body like that, Sully is able to play professional basketball at a competitive level. There are retired players out there approaching their 50's (Mutombo, Hakeem, MJ, etc) who are probably in significantly better shape than Sully is.
A guy with Sully's physical makeup should never exceed the 270 pound mark - and even that is pushing it. He should really be down around 260 at the most.
