I expect Sullinger to be riddled with injuries throughout his career. I have vodoo dolls of every lottery player that pulled out of the draft last year. Barnes was my first victim.

Pretty similar players, but I'd go with Kanter cause he has better size and a (supposedly) better shot. Sullinger should certainly be better his rookie and sophomore years, though.
Miller apparently rolled an ankle in practice over the weekend. He'll play next game. Yes, Perry Jones had his act together. Lots of lay-ups and dunks in the open floor. Good mobility. Decent touch from mid-range. He's a guy with enormous potential, but plays a bit soft. I don't want to label him, but he could be an Andray Blatche. Lets see if he gets his share of rebounds and if he can play in the post. It'll be interesting to see Miller and Jones III on the floor together.
Kanter is bigger and, dare I say, elevates better.
Sullinger will be way over-drafted. I've said too many times to count, he has neither the size to play center, nor the shot/athleticism to play PF. Nice role player or bust.
If anyone wants me to explain again (it's been more than a few months) what I think of Kanter, just ask.
Yes, PJones is loaded with potential but very soft .. that is all.

Sullinger is not going to be a bust, he will be a nice role player. I’d say he's a more skilled DeJuan Blair on the offensive end. Like Blair, Sullinger makes up for the fact that he plays below the rim by being extremely physical, having a nose for the ball on rebounds, and knowing how to use angles to score.
Still I believe the best player on this team is Buford. William Buford is an electrifying player with a super smooth jumpshot. He’s particularly adept at the outside and mid-range jump shot.
"The Ohio State" is the best team in America for the second straight year but at the end of the season, once again, they will not be cutting down the net.

Wow. Nice logic on all fronts.
A "more skilled Dejuan Blair" doesn't sound like a top-7 pick in the draft. That's a bit like saying a "more in-shape Ike Diogu." He doesn't play as big as he should and he just isn't that quick or athletic. He has a hard time getting over people or around people.
Then why is he considered a potential top 5 pick in a "loaded" draft by most reputable sites? The guy is skilled, is strong, rebounds, and is developing perimeter skills.
