that makes some sense, as he is struggling at foul line-
 a sprained wrist can be very irritating, distracting and lingering

Did Sullinger sprain his wrist?  I wasn't aware of this.  Can anyone confirm/elaborate on this?
mike and tommy were talking about it last night. thats all i reslly know/ read or seen

Has anyone ever thought he should loose some weight. lol

All kidding aside, most of his shots are hitting the front rim...his legs may be tired. His over all energy is down in general, I mean going by the eye test. When Stevens takes him out of the game, he gets a long stay on the bench before he re-enters the game. Even when it looks like we've lost the boards.
I know he is suffering a wrist injury, but he looks like he dragging.

Tommy/Gorman both said so on last night's broadcasts. Camera got Sully nursing his wrist at least once during timeouts and other dead time.

The time to sell high on him passed.  I don't think he's in our long term plans though.  Can't see us paying him.  Will be interesting to see what we settle for in a trade.

Agree he is an elite rebounder but little else.

I heard them say it on the broadcast but his shooting was heading downhill prior to this happening.  Has he had four years of wrist sprains?   Career .437 Shooter  which is poor for a PF.

Looks like normal fluctuation for a young, non star player.

Do normal fluctuations include missing 25% of his games due to injury, weight or conditioning.  But your right about the non star.  I wonder if he will get his annual injury that is coming up that has happened in years past.   I hope not but with him it has been a pattern.

Unfortunately we need Sully. KO, Lee, Zeller and even somewhat Amir get pushed off their defensive positioning too easily.

This was true, I noticed this very thing, when we played Okafor.   Our guards are decent right now.   Crowder has won me over as well.   I think we need definite upgrades at PF and C.

I think the real focus should be David Lee, he is slowing the entire team down.

Lee played well last night but that was the exception not the norm.   I think Sully and Lee both slow us down.

I think to be fair Sully is still moving better than he has in the past and hustling more.    I would wager, I am his harshest detractor here.  I have noted some improvement there.   I would ban him from shooting threes and use him close to the bucket where he can use his elite skill rebounding.   His shot selection is only part of his problem.   He simply is not a good three point shooter.   The kid needs to focus what he is good on and get down on the block or get out of the game and into the competitive eating sport.  The stretch four thing is a wash with him.

How can you be surprised that Sullinger and Lee are fading...Play Zeller...

Sully is the only player on our team who can hold his own against physical bigs on the boards and on d.

Due to his various issues and expiring contract I don't see is getting more than a crappy pick or two.

He is key for us in match ups with Chicago Detroit Charlotte Cleveland and probably some other playoff teams in the east. We should keep him.

Bringing this up again because Jared got absolutely abused tonight, so much so that we couldn't keep him on the court.
Jared is looking exhausted out there; can't seem to move his feet sideways at all.
