I really believe that Jared Sullinger is going to make the teams that pass on him pay....

Because he's going to be a beast in green

I  would not take him in any circumstances.   Guy is going to have back issues, tight hamstrings and now one leg longer than the other, no thanks.  Not to mention that he could only bench press 9 times and can't play above the rim.

Greg Oden had the same problem didn't he? One leg an inch shorter than the other.

Do any other players have this problem?

My memory tells me that Nate Thurmond had one leg shorter than the other.  He wore an orthotic in one shoe to even his legs out.

As an aside, I had one leg shorter than the other. Actually the long bones were the same length.  But muscle tightening made one leg shorter. I was given a set of stretches to do and it lengthened my short leg.  No back problems now.

I'd be surprised if the Celts take Sullinger.  Too many issues.

BTW, nice handle & picture - Emmette Bryant.  I remember him well.

No no - not Marvin!  Jim "Bad News" Barnes (as Johnny Most referred to him).  He was only with the Celts for 2 seasons but was a teammate of Emmette's.  He was on the last Russell championship team from '68-69.

That's right.  Anybody who remembers the wrong Bad News Barnes is probably a little senile!

Jeff Withey owned him.

He swatted away seven shots in Saturday's game, which set a national semifinal record. During one stretch of the game, he blocked three consecutive shot attempts by the Buckeyes' All-American Jared Sullinger.

Please Danny no Sullinger.

Edit:   I hope I am wrong.
