Sullinger a future all star?

[celticsclay]

Agree with everyone else who says his ceiling is probably poor mans Millisap or something. Doubtful he ever makes an all star team

Poor man's Millsap is about where he's at right now. At 22 years old. With lots of bad teammates.

Where he's at right now is an oft-injured, overweight, unathletic, power forward coming off a season where he averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds and a dismal 43% shooting on a bottom 5 team.  That's not poor man's Millisap.  But yeah, he might get there some day.

What the heck do you consider a poor man?  Millsap plays almost 34 minutes per game

Per 36:

Millsap:  19.3 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 46% shooting, 14.6%TRB, 13.7%TRB last year

Sullinger:  17.3 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 43% shooting, 16.7%TRB, 17.5%TRB last year

What makes you say his ceiling is a poor man's Millsap, aside from your usual philosophy regarding the Celtics?

Larbird regularly tries to rile up people on the boards by making outlandish comments. I still remember him saying Lebron would average 15 assists in his 40's and talking about how his serious celtic fan buddy had often compared jiri welsch to larry bird. Don't bother responding and maybe he will do it less often.

Come on, LarBrd33 is funny. The forums would be boring without him.

If he averages a double double he will.

He's being looked at as a good up and coming player, putting up numbers may get him some nods.

I think in the end he will be a productive starter, putting up above average numbers and having a big game a few times a year.

David West, more or less.

I just can't seem to understand why the Cavs would want him, and what they'd give up...

David West, more or less.

Except with 3-point range and superior rebounding ability.  West definitely beats him with his post play, though, and I hope that Sullinger continues to develop that part of his game.

For what it's worth, he did say that he was kind of a jerk a while back .  I'm not making this up.
