It's true that Sullinger looks tres large.

but he also makes beating these guys look terribly easy in a way that Zeller and Lee absolutely did not.

He does looks like he's 300lbs but you have to give him credit he is playing well

[PhoSita]

So . . . will we see a David Lee triple double this year?

[jpotter33]

This doesn't look like the 3-happy team that we saw last year. I'd still like to see Smart and IT share the floor together.

[positivitize]

Sully still the last one back on defense...

Problem is, he won't be playing against "these guys" in a 30-game season with FIBA rules...

Sully and Lee have rebounded and passed really really well. Lee and Sully both seem to be passable individual defenders (in post and on drive) but obviously cant protect rim or offer any help D

Smarts passing looks very good

[jpotter33]

Depends on how much he plays with our depth.

I actually think Hunter will become Rondo-esque in that regard, because he seems to do a little bit of everything regarding rebounding, scoring, and assisting.

Nice to verify that he can still reach the rim as well.

He's doing it when the game is already kinda out of reach, so it's fair to question how much defensive pressure he's facing -- whatever that even means against this team.

In any case, the issue with Sully has been his ability to look that good for the whole game.  We know he can produce in short stints off the bench.

I'm honestly trying to figure out where ET fits on this team...

[SHAQATTACK]

Crowder brings a tuffness .....

[SHAQATTACK]

IT with 40 ft ....LOL

I think Lee's ability to roll and finish coupled with his passing will keep him in the starting lineup.  He's a better rebounder than Kelly and his finishing and passing give him the edge despite whatever advantage Sully might have in shooting.

Well he really doesn't ......Hunter should play his minutes

He belongs back on Philly in trade for a 2 nd.

[PhoSita]

I'm honestly trying to figure out where ET fits on this team...

If Smart and Rozier can cover ball-handling duties while Thomas sits, ET doesn't fit on this team.
