Sully..the round mound of?

Is this the same guy who some people said can become just as good, if not better, than Kevin Love?

He really needs guidance from some source

I think he's had enough sauce.

Moses Malone was a dude that used his massive lower torso to get position for rebounds.

Moses Malone looked like this:

I am still aiming for David West. If Sully transforms his body, he will get there. If not, then we might regret passing on Julius Randle.

We will see. There will be a lot of story lines to follow next season.

These are all the same people that are gonna praise Sully mid season when he's our best/most consistent player other than Rajon.

I'm not the biggest fan of Sully, but he honestly looks smaller here than he did at the end of the season. Still only July, and it looks like he has lost some weight to me already. Not sure what I'm missing here.

I read the first several comments on this post before watching the video, and assumed that it was the usual hackneyed Sullinger complaints about not being in shape. But then I actually watched it and.. yup he's really fat. Significantly fatter than last year from my vantage point. Troubling to say the least.

It annoys me greatly when people say he needs to lose 20 pounds. Try 40-50 pounds.

This whole thread is about posters seeing what they want to see. for those that are not Sully fans, see fat Sully and for those that like Sully don't see any change.

All I see is more negative Nancies that never have any faith in this team!!!

negative Nancies

Shouldn't you be at the Harry Potter forum?  Negative Nancies, I guess school is out for the summer.   Are you Positive Pete?   I am Sarcastic Sam, nice to meet you.

Moses Malone was a dude that used his massive lower torso to get position for rebounds.

Was taller and not so earthbound as Sully.  He could jump too.   Sully could not hold his own even remotely against Moses.  Not he does not have a big gut like Sully.

I completely disagree.  I'm a big Sully fan.  280 is a problem though and he looks heavier.

Amen...Sully could put 20 pounds back on in a single trip to Chili's.  I always say 30-40 pounds along with a body transformation but you're probably right with 40-50 because he looks to be in the 290-300 range at the moment.  Needs to work on his burst/explosiveness.  I'm sure this is what Brian Doo is "Doo-ing" with him.  Can't imagine why they don't beg him to live in a controlled environment in the offseason. 

Folks -- when you lose weight you look thinner and leaner.  I'm a Sully fan.  He looks larger and more jello-like.  That indicates, in my opinion, that he binges on bad food.  I'm guessing, of course, but it's an informed guess.

This is so disappointing with Sully because of his skill level.  He could be Barkley (in our dreams) if he committed to conditioning for awhile.

Right. That was, in fact, the point of my post.
