If you are in free fall on Draft Night,one thing to perk you up is being selected in the first round by the most storied franchise in NBA history.
he's got back issues and he's the prototype undersized college big whose game might not translate to the NBA, but Sully with a chip on his shoulder will be a motivated rookie here in Boston.
I like him a gazillion times more than the guy we picked in the first round last year. Boston needs tough paint players and Sullinger is that for sure. he will figure out how to get his shot off in traffic, like undersized PFs like Boozer did.
Boozer is an interesting comp - college star who free fell in the draft. They're about the same height and weight. Boozer figured out how to play inside against bigger covers, and polished up his outside game. Sully shot 40% from the college three in limited attempts last season.
