So which one would you rather keep?
I'm going with Sully. I like Kelly's game a lot, but I think Love game is more similar to his.
Sully on the other hand, is more of a down low banger.
I could be totally wrong. That's why I'm asking.

Sullinger, and it's not even close.

I prefer Sullinger as a player, but I get nervous when I think of a frontcourt consisting of two 6'9" guys. Kelly is 7' and can play face up, shoot, and rebound better than I expected. If we are building around Rondo - DA has to surround him with shooters. Kelly is a better shooter than Sully and has the height to pair with Love.

Plus - imagine the passing in a Love-Olynyk frontcourt!

I'd rather keep Kelly.

Sully is obviously better, so I voted for him, but that's also why he's more likely to be traded. He has more value. I'd be surprised if any Love deal didn't involve him.

Kelly.

I think what we're seeing with Sullinger is pretty close to what his ceiling will be as a pro. Also, you have the health concerns.

Kelly has the higher ceiling and still breaking through the surface of what his game can be at the NBA level. We saw glimpses of it, especially, in the 2nd half of the season.

I'd say Sullinger if he stayed underneath where he belongs.  The kid has extreme potential with his back to the basket.  If he chooses to stay outside, I'll take Kelly.

This guy gets it.   +1 

But instead he thinks he is Kyle Korver.

Why don't people understand that Sullinger shot from outside because the management and coaching staff urged him to do so? No harm in trying to expand your game in a lost season...

I love Sully, Ive been seeing a lot of people online even on this forum saying they prefer Olynyk over him...

Sully plays better defense, is a good rebounder, and can score well under the basket. I honestly think his ceiling could be David West.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
If we get Love and another starting caliber center then I think KO is the choice. I get the feeling that Sullinger needs to start where KO could be a great third big or starter. It may sound like I think that Sullinger is better because he 'needs' to start, but I honestly think they are pretty comparable (but have a different skillset).

I don't know, maybe it just seems that KO would be more upbeat about his role where Sullinger might already have one foot out the door...obviously pure speculation, though, and I [of course] would love to keep both of them.
