Sounds like a good, excited kid. I like the Elton Brand self-comparison as well.

Just mentioned Elton Brand as a guy he looked at. Real good comparison now that I think about it.

Summary:

*Thought once he didn't get picked at 20, he was very confident to go 21-22 with C's and was excited.

*complete shock at being selected though, as in the moment was mind numbing realizing he's in NBA now.

* excited to play with KG and have him as mentor- KG called him but he was busy, so he will speak to him ASAP.

*Pierce was one of his favorite players growing up watching NBA with brothers.

*Back was never an issue in college, and he never played a game in pain- was something they've discovered in scans for NBA draft-more of a potential problem. (can you say Brandon Roy, Greg Oden..?).

*looks up to Elton Brand as undersied, brute strength power forward and models his game on Elton's.

*Sick of back questions, says 'medical school is over now I'm in the NBA'.

Repeat, in his words, his back is 100% and he never missed a game because of it.

I have lesson #1 for the rook: When KG calls, you're not "busy." YOU PICK UP THE PHONE.

Yeah, or at the very least, call him back immediately. Hopefully this isn't the one-strike and you're out from KG.

I cringed when I heard that he was busy when KG called. Hopefully KG was in a forgiving mood.

Well it's probably been the busiest few days of his life and KG was probably reaching out and said, get back to me when you can. Who knows if KG called yesterday and Sully won't call him today?

The kid has a fantastic demeanor and very solid personality- he also says he wants to prove everyone wrong about his size, weight, back etc... KG will love him.

I hope he does have a back issue because that at least would explain his lack of lift. It's too bad we could not give Sullinger, JJJ's athleticism.  Then we would have something.

I guess that's the irony huh? We wouldn't have Sullinger if he had JJJ's lift. The Hornets or Bobcats would have him.

He ignored a call from Kevin Garnett? I don't care if you're doing 100 down the free way getting shot at by the Italian mob, you answer KG's call and listen to what he has to say.

Kidding, but still..
