    And wouldn't Amare's skill camp be when Sullinger was in High School. Not the last 2 years.

    Andre Drummond is 6'10. Are you suggesting that they are the same height?

    Spoiler
    Nah it was this past summer where Rivers measured at 6'5. Drummond is closer to 6'11 now from what I've heard plus his frame is a lot more chiseled than Sully's but let's wait for the combine. Even if he's 6'9 that puts him in Boozer and Kevin Love size range (not that high on him just comparing size wise).

        The problem with Sully, unlike Boozer and K-Love, is that his body is already betraying him, and he is extremely bothered by length. Dude cannot operate when he has a big guy guarding him.

                    MKG dropped to 4 for the Cavs?
                    Absolute steal imo if that happens.

                    If Drummond is on the board at 9 I have a feeling the Pistons will draft him so they can move Monroe to the 4.

                      Love was very bothered by length at UCLA too. I didn't think he'd be more than a role player in the NBA because of it and remember some of those terrible FG% games he had early in his career? I will admit that JS seems more bothered but I guess you never know. He is skilled and seems like a hard worker with a good head on his shoulders - those things go a long way in having a nice NBA career.

                      6'10 though, I'm definitely not buying it despite that link. We'll see what DX's measurements bring. You never know though, in DX's measurements there have been 6'7 1/4" guys some how measuring 6'10 in sneakers.

                        why folks keep saying we need bigs..we have, Nene,Booker,Seraphin,Blatche,Vesley,Singleton

                        no need for a big that early..get Beal or MKG with the 3rd pick..hopefully after a decade after that..I could go "With the 3rd pick, I made the earth sick,MJ, him J fadeaway perfect"

                          Davis and Drummond? That's an interesting combo, although I don't see it happening given Monty always wanting effort, etc. Granted that may be just what Drummond needs

                            If Drummond could reach even half of his potential then the Davis-Drummond combo would be deadly, at least on the defensive end.

                              Jeff's younger brother is more great athlete than pure point guard, but a lot of scouts see improvement and believe he could learn grow into the job.


                              NO NO NO NO... we already have Westbrook, Fisher, Ivey, Maynor, Jackson... why do we need another... Either trade the pick or pick up Fab Melo or Draymond green

                                Seems like a strange choice but that kid shouldn't be getting meaningful minutes anytime soon... and who knows how long Maynor or Harden will be on the team. I think it'd be a BPA situation and he may end up being that.
