 Can someone explain to me how sullinger isn’t Sean May????  I’m almost inclined to say May was better than he is.  He needs to put those twinkies down and do some cardio.

[The lake show2]

Sean may was also very talented and skilled as well so youre right on that front. Problem is May kept gaining weight and didn’t continue to work hard once he got in the NBA. Who knows if sullinger will or wont go down that road but the same can be said for any player. Who ever thought Shawn Kemp was gonna get that big near the end of his career.

 

Thats a compliment to be mentioned with College Sean may as far as who is better Since may was a JR and Sullinger is a freshman.  So far 10pts 7reb at half time. very good

[llperez]

yeah, being compared with sean may is not exactly a bad thing in terms of skill. May just didnt put in the work once in the league. I dont remember, but wasnt may also injured his 1st or second year in the nba as well? Regardless, sullinger can become what may should have become if he has the work ethic.

[The lake show2]

My bad 8reb. And 3 dunks one off the Vert with defenders around while getting up and down the court at a good pace. Damn i wish i can get some of those twinkes to play like that.

A question just as fair…How isn’t Sullinger Kevin Love….First team all american just like Love. Leading team to a top 5 ranking Just like Love. Freshman of the year( Love didn’t get that one though)

[The lake show2]

May was hurt every year he was in the leauge and i think battled with a touch of depression( probably because of getting hurt)

[NickWayne87Participant]

 that it is a compliment i thought about everything that you said, that he’s almost as good as may was IN COLLEGE and may was very good IN COLLEGE and the sean may i’m indeed comparing him too is sean may when he got drafted as a junior IN COLLEGE and sullinger is just a freshman IN COLLEGE…..with that being said

 

my question is how do i know he wont be like sean may IN THE LEAGUE and keep his weight down.  He’s gonna have to lose hella weight, he’s not quick enough in his current state to contribute much if anything defensively against the atheletic pf in the nba…..and it’s gonna be harder for him to maneuver on offense as well…he’ll be infinately more effective if he can drop down to like 240, 235

[NickWayne87Participant]

 is there’s no way he’s going one as some project, there’s no way i’d take him over a derrick williams or a kyrie irving

[The lake show2]

Why does he have to lose alot of weight and how do you know he wont become Boozer or Love who are both at 260?  or Millsap?   you’re question can apply to any player as far as how bad they could become or how good they could become. His weight is no problem and it actually helps him since he cant out jump guy’s. with his skills and ability to overpower guys he’s fine where he’s at. You’re weight is only a problem if you can’t get up and down the court or get winded which he doesn’t

[The lake show2]

He definatly has the ability to start right away ( and scouts that watch him more then we do rightfully thinks the same). Like i said Boozer, Kevin Love

[NickWayne87Participant]

 he’s at 280…..he’s fat lol…..and he’d be quicker and could jump a lil higher just by shedding the extra weight.  and it wouldn’t be as bad if the weight were muscle it’s clearly fat.  I’m not even saying he’s not good, just that in most years he should be a late lotto pick not a lock for top 5.  also what i’m sayin is how do i know it wont get out of control and go up to over 300 pounds……of FAT

[The lake show2]

You dont know just like you don’t know Kyrie wont have another toe injury or Derrick Williams will continue to work hard or Perry Jones will continue to go half speed through out his career. Its all a guessing game. If you go by his past then its a good indication that he’s a hard worker since he used to be 300. The same questions were raised with Kevin Love and he was 285-290 in college.

Also I’m pretty sure Sullinger is smaller than 280 now since that was his weight before college practice and games began

[NickWayne87Participant]

 i’m not even sure how kevin love is kevin love…..i don’t think anyone ever thought he’d EVER become as good as he’s become.  He’s not overly quick or athletic he just somehow gets the job done….has a nice set of post moves and a good jumper though.  I was one of the one who thought the grizz were getting over on minny trading love for mayo on draft day boy was i wrong.

[The lake show2]

And the good thing about Sullingers weight is its in his lower body not his upper body, which is a big plus. Also good to have a big butt and tree trunk legs when you’re a big man. Gives you a easier time posting other bigs up especially bigs who use there athletic ability. Another big i forgot to mention is Big Baby

[The lake show2]

Hard work, very skilled,Big body and good rebounding instincts that’s how Kevin Love is Kevin Love( same characteristics that Sullinger has). Any Big player can end up being Sean May if they don’t work hard or get injured. ( as i say this fat boy sullinger box’s out gets the rebounds and goes off the vert and dunks once again, in the process getting yet another double double)

[NickWayne87Participant]

 a top 5 pick on the next big baby?  i wouldn’t take him…..not as high as he’s projected but i do know it’s because the draft is weak.

[NickWayne87Participant]

 i give him that, he’s a college beast…..i just don’t think it’s gonna fly in the pros.

[The lake show2]

His game translates to the Pro’s which is why so many teams are high on him. Unlike alot of the other players who teams say have the "potential" to do this or that. Love has shown his type of game translates very well to the pro’s. Boozer showed before him

[The lake show2]

Who said he’s the next big baby. i said big baby is a big guy who is doing well in the pro’s He could be the next Love. You seem to only pick guys who didn’t do very well for some strange reason.

Why can’t kyrie be the next Bayless or Williams be the next marvin Williams then since we are picking worst case scenarios.

 

Like all Scouts,players say  Rebounding is one thing thats translates to the pro’s

[NickWayne87Participant]

 i could be wrong, he could be great and make me eat my words….but if i’m the gm i wouldn’t wanna risk it…..i’d rather take williams.

[NickWayne87Participant]

 and have noticed is that he uses his body well……his game is all about establishing good position whether it be to score or rebound….but where are the go to moves?  where are the jared go get me a bucket moves that i’d expect out of my TOP 5 pick

[The lake show2]

That’s because of those legs and that butt. He’s also more athletic ( as far as jumping) then people give him credit for. Also very good cardio( notice how as the game goes on other bigs get tired while he’s still running and dunking including a dunk over a long athletic guy name T.Jones off the vert!!!)

[butidonthavemoney]

I agree with Quincey. There is no "sure thing" in this year’s draft, but Jared Sullinger is about as safe a player there is. He’s very skilled, aggressive and (seemingly) a hard worker. He’s not lightning quick, but he’s smart enough to compensate.

[NickWayne87Participant]

 watching this game reminds me the he is a VERY effective player in collge.  

[wenichParticipant]

I like Sean May better.  And since Perry Jones was brought up, he’s another player that I think will never have the mentality to be as good as his skills should be.  Obviously his potential is going to get him drafted very high but I personally wouldn’t waste a pick on him.
