I really don't think Sullinger should lose (more) weight. When he really thinned out at the beginning of the year, he looked frail and weak to me. He will always be a "below the rim" guy and his game is predicated on using his lower body strength and weight to get position and post up. Having that extra weight might slow him and cost stamina but I'd rather have 25 minutes of prototypical old-school low post basketball from Sullinger than more minutes of ineffectiveness.
