Prospect comparisons
Drummond has the athleticism of A'mare, but lacks the motor.
Quincy Miller will be a poor mans Durant.
Anthony Davis will be a more defensive-oriented Chris Bosh.
Harrison Barnes is definitely Luol Deng. I mean, think about it. He can't create his own shot (which is why he did better with Marshall at pg then Drew last year), is a good shooter, and doesn't have elite athleticism and doesn't have a good first step.
Jeremy Lamb is like a short Durant, as he plays like him but at the shooting guard position.
Beal is a knock down shooter, but not as athletic as Ray Allen used to be.
Rivers is a little like OJ Mayo, but I think he will have a better career as he has already improved a ton at Duke so far.
Sullinger is a short Kevin Love without the range.
Kobango is Kyrie Irving without as much polish or athleticism. He also has a weaker jumper.
We have to or how else will he learn

I'm just astonished at the lack of love Sullinger get's. While he not an elite athlete at 7foot like Oden use to be he can score better now then Collison ever could in the post and at 6'10 he certainly is not a shorter Love who is 6'9. And yes Sullinger measured in at a legit 6'10 in the Amare summer camp. And I keep seeing people compare Davis to a more defense oriented Bosh...um...do they mean Davis is what Bosh would look like if he ever used his length and athleticism to play defense?
I don't know who to compare Sullinger to. From a game style standpoint, I think Karl Malone, but I almost never compare a player to a top 10 player in the history of the league. Those expectations are just too high, you can't look at a 19 or 20 year old and compare him to someone who scored 30,000 points.
I think Sullinger will be a very good pro, but probably not great. Maybe Al Jefferson? but I don't feel Sullinger will ever find a nitch at the center position in the NBA. The site has Kevin Love, which isn't bad, but I can't really get behind. He's not near the physical specimen a young Elton Brand was. Maybe Kevin Duckworth, who was a lot better player than a lot of people give him credit for, making 2 all-star games.
I'm kind of at a loss for someone to compare him to. No comparisons are perfect, and when scouting players I really don't put a whole lot of stock into player comparisions, but I can't find one I like for Sullinger.
Jared Sullinger PF-Elton Brand.
Marquis Teague PG-less talented Isiah Thomas.
Andre Drummond C-Deandre Jordan.
Harrison Barnes-Sean Elliot post-kidney disease.
Bradley Beal-Cutino Mobly
Perry Jones III-Danny Manning.
Anthony Davis-Bill Russell.
Jeremy Lamb-Richard Hamilton
Yeah I've always compared Sullinger to Zach Randolph except without the maturity issues that plagued Randolph for the beginning of his career.
Anthony Davis seems pretty hard to find a comparison for, I think a combo of Kevin Garnett/Jermaine O'Neal might be the best I can come up with although he has some similarities to Andrei Kirilenko as well.
Jeremy Lamb reminds me a bit of Eddie Jones.
