I compare Rivers game to Oj Mayo

and

Sullinger game reminds me of David West.


I love Marshall's game. He's a poor man's JKidd, which is still a great compliment.

We don't need another PF that needs minutes in Sullinger considering who that we have several under contract.

Unless you think Sullinger will be better than what we have under contract.

I could be missing something, but taking Sullinger at the 4, someone sub 6'8" who is nonathletic to pair with Davis at the 5, someone who is about 6"9" and pretty skinny for our front court pair? That is a very small front court.

1) Perry Jones if he proves in workouts that he is quick enough to play the 3

2) Austin Rivers

3) best SF on the board

The thought just scares me, since for the near future(3/4 years) there will still be legitimate near 7 foot athletic power forwards, and 7 foot bulky centers.

Sort of. I'd definitely say faster and more athletic. But size and, more importantly, length still matters.

I don't want Sullinger, he's lazy and soft.

I think people get too caught up in some of these numbers.

David West is .25 inches taller than Sullinger. Davis is the same height as Howard coming into the league. A pairing of these two will work in terms of size.

I think he was looking at the w/o shoes height.
DraftExpress has a database up with prospect heights/reach etc going several years back.

Odds are that he'll be wearing shoes during the games.

regardless, I wouldn't want that pair for our front court. The comparison to West, we have all seen just how much West gets dominated when he plays athletic 4's.

He probably won't have 3 insoles jammed into them during games
