Blair had no ligaments in his knee and was never the player Sullinger was in college. I do not recall Sullinger's injury being debilitating.


Sullinger was an easy top 10 player and probably even top 5 without the health concerns. One leg is longer than the other.

Austin will be in the league 10+ years. He continues to work hard, but still looks like a boy amongst men out there, although that has faded over the year. Once that totallywears off, he will be a legitimate rotation guy. I see him as a Jet Terry; not necessarily from a skillset standpoint, but more of just the impact he brings to the game.

There is a reason people root for this kid, you can tell he wants it and gives a shite about getting better.

Fun fact: who was the only player coming out of high school rated higher than AD in either scout or rivals? Rivers. No, it means nothing, its just a fun fact.

Sully had the back surgery and is doing well now, I thought.

Are you just saying that he will break down eventually?

He is becoming a really good player.
