The Front Row

Come on man the NBA sees what we see. He is nothing more than a bench player. Why cant our homers see he is fat, cant jump, cant shoot and cant run. He is a banger who only has 3 foot range. He had his shots blocked by a white dude today. Never will play in the NBA, take it to the bank.

Does Sullinger's game remind anyone else of Hansbrough from NC a few years ago? Physical play and put backs but not a lot of actual moves?

I'm not sure about that. Sullinger has some nice post moves and he uses his body really well, of course he kind of has to with his lack of athleticism. Hansbrough was beast mode all the time. Not easy on the eyes but effective. I do know that Hansbrough has made himself into a nice pro when most thought he wouldn't be. Don't see why Sully can't follow suit.

I love Sully but have said it since start of this year. I don't think he will be anything special in the NBA. I just don't think his game translates. He is too slow and not athletic enough for NBA to be a 4, and not big enough for 5. I think he has a great college game but he will really need to improve the quickness, athletics and off the dribble game to do anything at the NBA.

Great comparison.

I think he is Charles Barkley except he cant jump.
Barkley was only 6-4 but played 6-9. He dominated
Barkley backed into people and controlled people with his body and hips..

I don't think it is fair to try to translate Jared's game to the NBA when he is so noticably injured. He showed much greater explosion at the beginning of the year before the injury. Now, he can't even walk without limping. He will be alright when he has time to heal.

Thomas is lucky to get drafted at all, there is not a draft board out there that has him in mention.
People say the NBA does not play defense, they do in the play offs, and Thomas needs work on his defense, foot work, explosion and basketball IQ. People saying Thomas is gone need to check the mock drafts, he is nowhere to be found, maybe Italy or Russia.

carlos boozer also can shoot a 15 foot jump shot with some consitancy...sully hasnt proven he can do that....he will get eaten alive by the the 4;s in the NBA>....he cant guard guys like dirk, love, griffin....its sad to say but hes gonna be a 3rd guy of the bench type player getting 15 mins a game...

Sully's ready for the NBA. Will he struggle mightily on D at the 4? Hell's yeah, but he's got the skill set to play right now. I think his game at the next level will marinate a bit before he becomes a 16 and 9 guy and he'll be asked to pick and roll a helluva a lot more at the next level. Thomas should come back, don't think he will but he should. DT still has some raw skills and really he should be playing the 3...now and certainly at the next level.

Sully needs at least another year. Go Bucks
