Sullinger has beautiful form on his shot.

And what did he shoot from downtown 28%?  Actually, his form is not as nice as you portray it.

We can debate about his form, but sometimes it takes a while for a player to have results that match the soundness of his shot mechanics.  I was high on Avery Bradley during his rookie season because he had a solid shooting form with poor results.  He shot 39.5% on threes this season and I think he is capable of being even better.

Sullinger shot 25-63 (39.7%) on threes in pick and roll situations and 23-108 (21.3%) in spot-up attempts.  A spot check of some high-volume three-point shooters suggests that usually players are better on spot-up attempts.  It's possible that he has good enough form that there will be a natural improvement in spot-up three-pointers so that his overall percentage will become acceptable.

Can Randle play at least one NBA game before we start debating who's better? Can't really go by collage anymore to determine how good a player is going to be.
Well actually no some of us can't wait. I think the idea of discussing this now is because we all wan to decide if the C's should draft Randle if he is available at 6. Have to do our best to predict whether his game will translate well in the NBA.

Yeah but some people are just saying that Sully, or Randle are flat out better than the other. When we don't know we have not much to go by. Plus that's DA's job right now to make that choice. While we can discussed, and thats fine, we can't flat out say Sully will be better, when Randle hasn't even been drafted.

I don't think even if Randle is on the board if we are using our pick we take him, unless DA is planning on moving Sully or KO.
