Sullinger

without a j. wont be a good pro.

Was pretty damn good.

Short story on his journey to osu.  His dad was his HS coach and his older brothers both played d1 ball.  He attended a lot of osu camps since his bro played there.

Gred Oden is over 7 feet, Sullinger is barely 6-9. He won't dominate like that against most NBA power forwards let alone centers.

you can't touch him without getting a foul called but he can manhandle you at will. He obviously is a stud though.

The dude is 18. He can develop a jump shot. Hell everyone said Blake Griffen didnt have a face up game with any sort of jump shot in college(since he just dunked on everyone...ala Novak) and this year he has shown that he does in fact have a nice face up game that will only get better. Don't call the dude big baby because hes not. Hes better and he will be a top 3 pick as of right now if not the number one pick. 

Demarcus Cousins was better, but he only played 20 min a game and got beched the other 20 for bitching at Calipari.

In regard to the claim that he is "Big Baby without a J", I saw him hit a three pointer in one of their games (might have been Purdue) and his stroke looks pretty damn good for a guy his size.  Not saying he has range out to 22 feet, but more that he is an 18 year old with plenty of time to hone his weaker points (which may not be as weak as people think, keep in mind that Ohio State doesn't exactly need him to do very much outside shooting).  He's got a huge frame, and that alone will allow him to play in the league due to his low center of gravity.  He also seems to have a knack for rebounding, which can make up for a small height difference in the post (e.g., Kevin Love).

He's the most fundamentally sound freshman big man that I have seen.  Is he really that much better due to the great coaching he got from hisw dad and will he plateau at where he is now, not that he's not very good now just really wonder about his future growth/ improvement relative to others.;

He reminds me most of Elton Brand at the same age.

I'll be cheering for him and his teammates to lose come March.

He is exactly the kind of low-post player who would propel Michigan to the top of the conference. He is polished in the post, with all of the moves, strength and touch to force double-teams. If double-teamed, he is an excellent passer to either another post player or out to the arc.

With Michigan's arsenal of three-point shooters, a Sullinger-type player would be the perfect complement. If opponents stay on our perimeter players, we dump it inside for a basket, a foul or both. If the opponents double, we scorch'em from outside.

OSU has some excellent perimeter players, too (Craft, Buford, Diebler and Lighty), but it is Sullinger who separates the men from the boys.

Lets hope Michigan can find a great low-post player in the next few years. The outside shooting center can be a match-up problem for opponents (and really is our best option with our current roster) but it is no substitute for a very good low-post stud.

He's going to go in early in the NBA Draft to some terrible, terrible team, and then languish there, with mediocre stats, for a number of years, while his entourage slowly (or quickly) bleeds him dry.     And I'm going to enjoy it.    Think Zach Randolph.

I see Sheldon Williams v2 in Sullinger.

I think he's the most comparable to Paul Millsap. Big Baby without a jumper? Give him a little more credit than that. 

I played against his AAU team 2 years ago and he wasn't as dominant as he is now, but he was already committed to that school in Ohio.  My guess is that he had great coaching his junior and senior year
