Curious how much of him you saw play?

Yeah, he's going to be good. He's still young. He can block shots almost as well as Anthony Davis. Can rebound, and can score with either hand, which makes him valuable.
I don't think so. He had way too many expectations on him at UNC. He still performed great though. He's a good dude, works hard and can flat out score. He'll be hard to defend due to his size and his ability to stretch the floor.
He was 180 pounds two years ago, so he's put on over 30 pounds in the two years he spent in Chapel Hill. He's got tremendous upside and I think he'll be an easy 14/10 type of guy. He'll have to be respected on the defensive end as well. He has like a 9'4'' wing span or something crazy. And he can run the floor.

Any comments on the celtics taking Sullinger with the 21st pick? It might turn out to be a steal.

It sure could. I'll be interested in seeing how his game translates in the NBA for sure.

I've heard from a bunch of people that he is a really good player but an arrogant and selfish tool.

He can flat out score dude, but that's it. He can't defend worth a turd and looks to get his before setting up others. Not great if they plan to play him at the point position in NO. He's a smart kid though and he can flat out score. Today's NBA is more one-on-one than it used to be so perhaps he'll be good.

I knew TC would come through with a Henson assessment for me. Everything I read about the guy was good and the upside seemed to be worth the pick. I just hope he isn't as fragile as Bogut was. My God. A fart with any power behind it would literally break that dude.

I think he was the best player on the team. He just had the entire Tarheel Nation on his shoulders and that's a lot to live up to. He'll be fine. He's a hard worker, smart, and keeps his nose down. He'll be a good pro.
He's not prone to injury but he'll get stronger and add more mass too. He's a good dude to have on your ball team. He does little things well.

Rivers was the best player on that Duke team, and it wasn't even close. He was the only guy on that entire team that could get his own shot without things being set up for him. He'll be good in the NBA unless they ask him to distribute the ball more than be a scorer.
Also, Chris Bosh is now OUT of the Olympics as well: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/e...ris-bosh-withdraws-from-olympic-consideration

Remember when it was the highest honor to play in the Olympics? Guys would do anything for the opportunity.

D-Wade. Now he's "hurt". J/K, I'm sure he is hurt, but it should be an honor to represent your country in the Olympics.

Lol, Odom in Lob City. Seems like a terrible fit, but that's just me. Anyways, I think Boston had a pretty good draft, and I'm happy to see BC boy Sacre with the Lakers.
Bosh is out too.

I like that trade for the Clippers. I think Odom could get it turned back around this year and really contribute to the team.
