His wingspan is almost three inches shorter than Sully's. Standing reach doesn't mean all that much to me because there's not many basketball situations where a defender can effectively utilize a straight up and down stance. Most defensive plays require your arms to be extended outward from your body's center - even most shot blocking opportunities require your arms to be reaching outward, not straight up - and so I like Sully more.
We know you like him, I think your related or his father.
Don't quit your dayjob to become a scout or coach. Longer arms always help though to some degree they can swat at balls, stealing balls and block passing lanes. Oly is a better athlete than Sully. But neither are nothing to write home about in this regard as both are inferior athletes. KO has the higher basketball IQ of the two, I would wager. KO usually moves his feet better and anticipates better. Sully is very apt to stand there and watch especially late in games. Last game, I thought Sully had a great first half and even tried on defense but went back to his old ways in the fourth quarter. I think Oly has the makings of a nice bench player, the same is true of Sully. PF is an easy position to upgrade as there are so few true Centers these days. We can get a guy who plays both O and D well and protect the rim, something Oly and Sully are not complete in performance every game.
Sully is no defender and no shot blocker watch the last 6 minutes of the last game and watch them drive every time they see him in the low post because they have zero respect for his D. His clutch D is very poor. Having him in there in the fourth was a blatant tank job.

http://www.82games.com/1213/12BOS15.HTMHe had a great first half but the last six minutes he shot 2-5, was a attacked constantly by the other team at the rim, as he was playing C, Oly was defending PF. Jack drove past his man and attacked Sully. This is not just Sully, there was no stop of penetration but other teams know he is a weak link now and attack him and the rim when he is in there. The charge was pretty bonehead too. But, he played a solid first half, and improved out of the slump. But he is no hero and his hero ball antics, cost us.
