Just filed to ESPN: Sources: Jared Sullinger medically red-flagged by some NBA doctors for back issues

Probably going to fall big time now.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That's huge.

Let's hope Perry shines. I want him badddddddd.

Can I just ask if y'all ended up taking him and he doesn't turn out are you gonna blame Dumars?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

yes

 

[elcheato]

Dumars will be fired before we figure out if PJ3 is a bust.

i blame him for the darko pick because our scouting team told him he could be special but we should risk the number 2 pick. that was all dumars. and with this draft like ive been saying; at number 9 with a few players who have all-star potential you have to take them. this low in the lottery should be bpa. im fine if we draft henson, he'll help us a lot now but pj3 can help us now and help us a ton in the future.


either way, i think dumars will be fired in three years tops.

I personally am not sold on Perry Jones being better than Henson.

 

[Pugz]

im just scared of hensons weight issues.

 

[elcheato]

I'd rather take a risk on Jones than take Henson, but he wouldn't be a bad pick at all. Good fit next to Monroe.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

That's understandable. He doesn't really look like someone that has the base to put on much more muscle either.

 

[elcheato]

There are only two physically imposing centers in the league, possibly 3 if Drummond pans out. It wouldn't be a huge deal having Henson there.

Even if he does pan out, I'm not sure Drummond will really fit that description. He's not a overly aggressive or physical guy, though I guess dealing with someone that big and athletic could be taxing.

 

[Pugz]

henson will fit well next to monroe. and id be happy to have him on my team. hell, i think with him and a decent FA signing i think we can make a nice stride next season. but id love to take a risk on pj3 and having him turn out nicely.

Jared Sullinger has been medically red flagged by NBA doctors. Back issues may cause him to slip into the second round: http://tinyurl.com/dy63k9q

Yikes

Should have come out last year, silly Sully

 

[elcheato]

The health issue still would have popped up at the combine last year. It's not like his one leg recently grew longer than the other.

But I agree, he still should have entered the draft last year. Still going to be a millionaire anyway.

 

[Pugz]

teams shouldnt let him get to the second. although id LOVE to move up and draft him if he does. teams should still take the shot though, dejuan slipped and had a good rookie year.

 

[elcheato]

Blair wasn't even close to the prospect Sully is. I don't see how he could fall to the 2nd.

 

[Pugz]

exactly my point.

I'm well aware of the fact Jones could bust, but it's worth a shot for what his potential could be.
