I'm starting to think if he's there Ainge will take him, he's got some similarities to Leon Powe.  I don't think Boston should be taking anyone with medical red flags, but they could do worse than taking Sullinger.

yep , he isn't gonna want to be bashing heads it sounds with some of the tuff cookies in the NBA.... big boys league.

I like FAB Melo ...he doesn't mind the pushing and is bulking up to make a statement.

There seems to be a lot of misinformation going around.  Sullinger is one of the most physical guys in the draft.  He's also possibly the best re-bounder.  Not the rely on your length and athleticism type, but the box out and muscle your way into position type.  He's also stone cold clutch.  Love this kid, but NO WAY he falls out of the lottery.  Rockets will grab him at 14 at worst.

It really depends on the back. If he's pain free and it some thing that will effect him 10 years from now go get him, then trade him when his stock is high and let the second team deal with the back.

If he is in pain, pass, take it from some one that was athletic and developed back pain from work, you can't move any more, loose motor skills, and jumping is just gone, especially quick jumps like you would use for put backs.

Doesn't matter how motivated he is if his back is shot.  Max Vertical is like 31" that is not good for a pro athlete.  Surprisingly he only got 9 on the bench press so he is not strong either.  Johnson our skinny guy last year did 15 folks.   That does not bode well for Sully....

I suggest you watch sully play of you don't think he is tough. Big ten was brutally tough this season. Melo is a bum. Melo is a bust in the making

If he is around for the celtics....they need to take sully.

eh that doesn't matter much to me. Lower body strength is much more important than upper body in the NBA when you are trying to get position in the low post. The bad back part is what bothers me, but if he falls to 21 I would take him no doubt, we do have back to back picks after all .

I think this draft is going to be really topsy-turvy and unpredictable.  The mock drafts seem to fluctuate wildly and outside of the consensus number one, Anthony Davis, there seems to be no consensus about anything.

Based on that, somebody is going to end up sitting anxiously in his jacket and tie with the cameras on him waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . for his name to be called. 

It's hard to feel too bad, though.  These kids are all going to be given a chance to live their dreams and make huge amounts of money playing the sport they love.

Maybe everyone should pull a Brandon Jennings and show up to the draft late and uninvited.

It's 2012.  Crying to the refs about getting hit wins championships.  This is a major plus, you need to get on that transition game like Dwayne Wade, son

Sullinger with back pain would still be better than a whole lot of guys in this draft...People are completely underestimating his talent. If he can play basketball at an elite level and manage his injury, its worth taking a risk on him.
