At 6'10", he's not really that undersized for a center either.

As crazy as it seems, this measurement listing him at 6'10 just turned him from the 8-14 Lottery range next year to guaranteed Top 5 pick.

People have way too many concerns about big men that don't play above the rim, but the way Sullinger plays is ridiculously efficient and shouldn't have too much trouble translating over the NBA. He's great at using his body to carve out space in the lane and has excellent touch around the rim. The new generation of younger centers like DeAndre Jordan and Javale McGee have a length advantage over him but very few have the girth he does.

Love how much Kevin Love has trimmed down. Sullinger isn't even really fat, he's just a big boned thick dude. That said, his ideal playing weight is probably 265-270.

His father is a highly respected veteran HS coach. Im sure he'll be putting him through the ringer this summer/fall to get him down to a better playing weight at about 265.

Eddy Curry is big boned too, and his ideal playing weight was probably around the same. Let's see if Sullinger can keep in shape for his career.

[blacknapalm]

i read he lost a lot of weight recently. remember, bynum was practically obese in HS and he turned out okay. anyway, i see him as the next al jefferson/elton brand type player. not explosively athletic like either of those guys but good footwork and he already shows patience in the post. he has to get better at getting in position quicker and re-posting but i think he'll be fine.

[InspiredLebowski]

Don't buy it at all. JaJuan Johnson measured 6'10 at the combine and he absolutely had height on Sullinger. Can't find any pictures with both of them standing straight up.

[Grinder]

Sullinger was 18 most of the season. There's the possibility that could have grown an inch or so since then. I don't think there's as much height difference between the two than meets the eye. Johnson is extremely skinny and long and looks taller even if they're the same height.

[GOBB]

Most of the stuff I read during the draft he hovered between 6'8-6'9. 6'10 would be crazy, because he would have had to grow some or no one really had accurate measurements to begin with? Or maybe his height listing was outdated and he grew but never did an official mesaurement until now? Interesting stuff nonetheless.

I think what will help his game moreso than an inch or two is losing weight.

[imdaman99]

he didn't look 6'10. he looked like corliss williamson did in college. undersized but bigger (stronger/wider) than everyone else so he bullied his way to a very successful college career. not like the late tractor traylor, but corliss williamson wasnt a bad NBA player... good bench player on a contending team (Kings).

[cavsfanatic]

You know people still grow at 18 right?

Sounds like he'll be the next Al Jefferson, both in terms of effectiveness and strengths and weaknesses. It'll be interesting to see who drafts him, he probably wouldn't work in Cleveland or Minnesota, but he could really shine in Toronto next to Valanciunas or in Washington next to McGee.

6'10" "in shoes" at some camp? He could be 6'7" (as he looks) for ****'s sake. Kevin Love get's listed at 6'10", and he's under 6'8". Some of these numbers have no relationship to reality. :facepalm At this point, you're just as well off saying he's 4'11" or a grajillion feet tall.

[Collie]

Yeah, he could be wearing shoes with like 3-inches of sole. Barefoot is still the best and most accurate measure.

How accurate or relevant are any of these numbers? They're not listing their heights. If every NBA player was wearing the same shoes it may hold some merit, but as it is, you may as well take the measurements while they're standing on chairs and wearing hats. Charles Barkley was somewhere between 6'3" and 6'6", and it didn't matter a bit. It's all bullshit.

[Scoooter]

Kevin Love is 6'9.5" in shoes. That's why he gets listed at 6'10".
I know. Kevin Love is 6'7" and change, and he gets listed a 6'10".

Seriously though, are these guys showing up for combine workouts in logging boots? A two inch height gain from a pair of basketball shoes? I'd feel safer playing on stilts.

[Grinder]

I know. Kevin Love is 6'7" and change, and he gets listed a 6'10".

Maybe because Kevin Love is ~6'10" on the basketball court when he is wearing shoes.

The shoes they get measured in are the shoes they wear to the combine/camp where they perform drills and actually play ball. It's not like they're wearing super high platformed shoes just for the sake of boosting their measurement.

The actual heights (1 or 2 inches here or there) aren't that relevant with regards to their play on court but you constantly see players' stocks fall and rise in the draft process due to it.

I know, it's completely insane. Are the scouts looking at these things complete idiots? You know the guy is not quite 6'8", and you're comparing him to other guys who aren't quite 6'8", but those guys are listed at 6'10" so you can't make a decision until you get him in a pair of shoes and artificially inflate his height just like has happened to all the other guys. Then you'll feel better about drafting him.

I don't quite understand either. They place too much emphasis on these things which leads to guys like Saer Sene getting drafted in the lottery while guys like Carl Landry and Paul Millsap routinely drop into the 2nd round.

Just this year, Nikola Vucevic went from a fringe 1st round pick to a mid first rounder pretty much based on the fact that he's a legit 7 footer with a big wingspan. It's not like skillset suddenly changed, yet that 1-2" difference in measurement is enough to boost him 15 spots in the draft. :wtf:

Yes.

NBA has always been crazy about heights & the vertical leap. Its also interesting when guys who are 7'0 in shoes refuse to be listed at 7'0 because they dont want to be considered "7 footers". Specifically guys like Walton, KG, & Duncan.

[Pinkhearts]

Lebron is 6'10 in shoes. I guess he should try playing center.

Bynum is 7'3 in shoes. Wow whatta monster.

Durant is definitely over 7ft in shoes. He really should convert to center or at least PF next season.

They are not undersized because nobody are calling them centers and powerfowards. But we have fools here calling Sullinger a centerbecause he is listed as 6'10 in shoes :roll: :roll:

Time for some logical reasoning lessons here:hammerhead:

[Scoooter]

Also, it's important to remember that Sullinger isn't some freak athlete like Barkley was. Barkley could weigh 265 lbs. and still fly. Sullinger looks like he has a six inch vertical. He should watch a lot of Zach Randolph tape before he gets to the NBA.

What is pinkharts babbling about? Bron 6'10 in shoes? Sullinger has never been labelled undersized? Factis if he is 6-10 he can play center. Elton brand has played some center. Amare started at center. You should follow the point. Then again probably will miss it like u did grinders

Are we supposed to be impressed by a 6-10 player (in SHOES) with a 7-1 wingspan?

For those that may be interested...Wilt would have measured over 7-3 in SHOES, and he had a MEASURED 7-8 wingspan. Russell was easily 6-10 in SHOES, and he supposedly had a higher reach than 7-2 Kareem (who would have been close to 7-4 in SHOES.) And Nate Thurmond was 6-11 (and over 7-0 in SHOES) and he had a higher reach than Chamberlain.

[Lebron23]

Jared Sullinger is probably 6'8.5" without shoes, and 6'10" in his sneakers. LeBron has the same wingspan measurement as Sullinger.

He's not so undersized to play the 4 and in fact could play some 5. My point with amare is he played Center as did brand. Are they ideal? Ate they legit centers? No. But in the NBA guys can play more than one position if the case calls for it. That's all that is said. Sullinger measures better than people think = point of the thread.

We are not doin calculus here

[Pinkhearts]

See here shows how incapable you are of following logical thought. The point here is that Sullinger IS undersized to play center. Allow me to explain things to you as simply as I can.

- OP comes in saying Sullinger is not undersized. Posts his height in shoes and weight.

- Other posters state that height in shoes measurement is misleading and he is indeed undersized. Posts similar players like Kevin Love as an example

- More debate on how size in shoes is misleading for many players.

-Girl posts that if Lebron and Durant and Bynum were listed as their height in shoes, they'd look like beasts who are definite centers. Got hated on by dumb haters.

- Fool claims that Amare and Elton Brand are legit centers and are the same size as Sullinger so Sullinger is not undersized, totally missing the point that the guys he is using are all undersized.

- Poster states that 6'10 in shoes is nothing to shout about as many SFs are that height and many old great centers greatly surpass that height.

- Fool asks whether those guys are undersized, completely missing the point that the real centers listed are really big and Sullinger is undersized when compared to a real center.

He's always been effective and productive at USC but it seems like his draft stock really took off after his measurements were favorable compared to Enes Kanter. I've always thought on skill set alone that he could be a first rounder but he was overlooked in draft discussions until only a month or so before the draft. I was pretty adamant up to the draft that the Sixers should take Vucevic and I'm glad we did. I'm worried about his ability to defend some of the more athletic 5s though.

We'll see him against some really good centers in Eurobasket coming up.

Looks like this is as complicated as calculus to you, even when it is so simple.

The point of this thread is stating that Sullinger IS an undersized fat kid. Playing him at center will be a disaster. Your point that Amare and Brand played center is totally irrelevant as those guys are too undersized to play center. Sure Sullinger could play center if the case calls for it, but so can Chuck Hayes. But should he be playing center? No!

He'd be a better fit at the 4. Let him bang against smaller players.

I don't think anyone is advocating he would be a better, or even good fit at the five spot, just that he could handle himself there in a pinch. I disagree, because I think he'll turn out smaller when better measurements come in, but the informed consensus seems to be that he's a power forward, undersized or not.

[InspiredLebowski]

Regardless of what his actual measurements are, the kid uses his body extremely well. His feet are stellar for a player his age and while he's obviously not gonna be swatting shots into the rafters he knows how to get into a guy legally and effect his shot on defense. He's absolutely a + level starting NBA 4.

:wtf:

Pinkhearts, you need to try and make a somewhat graceful exit from this thread. It was a complete nonstarter for you.

Well you haven't even made an entrance. LOL at you retards. Lebron himself said he was 6'9. Should I believe you guys know his growth better than the man himself?

Lebron is easily 6'9 in shoes - there's not much to discuss here really. He is the same height as Carlos Boozer for pete's sake

Even though he is a proven lying scumbag. So yes it is very reasonable that he grew an inch since 17 years old.

Would you want him on the Pacers? Next year's draft class could be completely loaded.

[InspiredLebowski]

Would you want him on the Pacers? Next year's draft class could be completely loaded.There's obviously guys I'd want more, a longer armed guy (regardless of these IMO bullshit measurements) that's a strong at the rim defensive presence, Thomas Robinson's a guy I'm hoping'll be there in the Pacers range (15-18 I hope). But I certainly wouldn't complain if Sullinger wound up here.

What do you fail to understand from those quotes? I know your comprehension is lacking, so ask and I can clarify it better for you.

[Lebron23]

Watched him today againts Illinois. He's good. I hope the Pistons get a top 5 pick next season. I want to see a Monroe and Sullinger front court.

[cuad]

If J. Sullinger is your center then you're going to have one undersized team.

Have fun playing against 7'1 Gasol and 7'2 Bynum.

[Qwyjibo]

Do not want on the Raptors.

[EllisGW]

take him in a top 5 pick would be awful

he was the two double negatives

not athletic and no midrange game

[DStebb716]

Exact same size as Andrew Nicholson of St. Bonaventure University. Only difference between the two is the Sullinger has much better body size. Nicholson has been said to have the best post moves in all of college basketball, and he has a consistent jump shot. Will be a late first rounder.

[wang4three]

Sullinger is kind of a throwback PF. He's not going to blow you away with athleticism, but he's got great touch and solid go-to moves from the post. He looks like he's adding a jumper too. He's gonna be of the Zach Randolph, Al Jefferson type of PF. He's just one of those below-the-rim players.

I saw Nicholson when he played against Illinois. He's pretty solid. Don't know how well he'll translate though, he still kinda takes bad shots (or atleast he did against us).
