Just to get a bit bigger picture of things:

That was just the stats he is good at typical of you.

It was a copy from a previous post which was specific to his defense, something you completely ignored in your post. Typical of you.

The difference is that I was adding info to the one you had already provided (which didn't include anything about defense, hence the info I decided to provide) rather than using it as the sole element to which to judge him.

But you can see it however way you want it.

To clarify... "Just to get a bit bigger picture of things" didn't mean that I was including the bigger picture, just adding more info to the one you provided. But whatever. Grind your ax.

Sully is looking less and less like an 18 / 10 guy and a lot more like a really high level energy guy, but the problem is he is so fat, he can't keep the energy up.

If your team is relying on Sullinger for heavy minutes, you're not a legitimate threat in the NBA. Simple as that.

I like this stat: http://espn.go.com/nba/statistics/rpm/_/sort/RPM/position/9

Sullinger top 10 center, Olynyk top 20.

If we don't get a star like Cousins, then it's better to look at who is a good pairing with Sully or Olynyk, since I think they are fringe starters in a championship team, they are capable players, but not enough... too many flaws in their game.

Sully is a/an:

elite rebounder

excellent passer

decent low post scorer

decent defender

poor outside shooter.

So he is basically an average NBA center, better at passing, little worse on defense.  And not 7 feet.
