Right now Sullinger is a good post presence. He is able to pass from the block and rebound well. If he worked on that portion of his game he could become among the best in the league.
That is what we need him to do.
I would rather have Sully knock down or perfect his 3's,
You would rather have? Are you aware he shot .27% from there? That kind of shooting is so awful it helps the other team. He is so far away from perfecting them if I was on the team and I saw him set up there, I would not pass it to him because I like to do a thing called winning.
You can want him near the basket all you want but the important people, the ones whose opinions really matter, want him to become a better 3 point shooter. They keep picking up stretch bigs, while a lot of you keep asking for the type of bigs it's becoming obvious they don't want.
Hmmm. Weren't we tanking last year. Do you think it was part of the plan to develop range and maybe lose some games? DA gave him some instructions for the offseason and it was get in the best shape of his life, nothing about shooting threes. I suspect though with summer fireworks being a dud, he may be shooting them again to help with the tankage.
I still don't get why he can't focus on multiple things, it's as if you're saying he has to choose. His job gives him 6 months off to train all he wants, he doesn't have to give up working on 3s to continue getting better inside, he can do both.
He has specialist talent (low post play) and should focus there. He is a not a multi-dimensional talent guy.
There is a reason he is not playing white or blue earlier tonight and is that he is not a top level NBA guy in peoples eyes outside of Boston. Roy Hibbert thinks he will be great though and we all know how good of a scout and player Roy is folks. Our best player, Rondo, was not good enough to make the USA team so he dropped out to save face.
He can do both just NOT WELL. .27% do you get that is how many he makes out of 100?
Since you do not get it perhaps a graphic would help you.
