I don't know who should feel more embarrassed by that comparison, Sullinger, Randolph or Love.

Why is that so embarrassing? 3 unathletic PF's who all at some point (still in Randolph's) have had weight issues, all 3 have midrange game, all 3 are known for rebounding, all 3 have questionable defensive ability. The comparison's seem pretty appropriate to me. The people who get their panties in a wad over comparisons are lame, not every comparison is going to be perfect. It's just suppose to give an idea at the basic style of their game, not necessarily indicating they will be as good as that person.

Did you just describe AJ? I don't see Sullinger as having a better career than AJ, which is why I wouldn't draft him. He's an undersized C or unathletic PF who I think will have questionable Defense. Good offensive game, but I think that had a lot to do with overpowering people. He won't be able to rely on that in the NBA.

Though you're right .. he was referring to Kevin Love, Sullie, and ZRandolph.

I think Jefferson is more of a clear center in his game. It was only recently that Jefferson really added a reliable mid-range game, and he relies more on hook shots than either of those 3 do. I see those 3 as being more physical in the way they get their shots off were as Jefferson is more methodical.

You are being way too nice to Al. He apparently is afraid to get physical for the most part. We saw it all series long against the Spur. Settling for that 7'-9' hook shot rather than getting good position to begin with or backing down his defender. It wasn't like we were going to beat the Spurs, I just hated how starstruck Al seemed at times.
 
Sullinger, much like Al will do best with a center who can space the floor on offense and provide good weak-side help defense because he sure as **** isn't going to. If he works on his defense and tries to extend his range a little bit, he could be a decent player. Al with a couple of tweaks (draws fouls, plays better D) is a pretty nice player so no reason Sullinger can't be a guy like that and worst case I think he's a solid rotation guy.

Well Love is really the only comparable player to Sullinger that I can think of. Like I said, I don't expect him to be as good, but he is the really the only clear comparison playing right now.

Dejuan Blair is a good comparison in my opinion. Sullinger has better range.
