Sullinger has been having his issues with Drummond today but starting to heat up late. JJ playing better. BRandon Knight is really fast.

At times Fab couldn't even stay on the floor during a summer league game this game. He got burned badly defensively a few times and sat down quick.
JJ played a lot and has good athleticism and a nice shot, can block some shots, but he is so passive inside. I'm not really liking him too much as a player right now. He's basically a jumping bean with a jumpshot, and very little else.

Sullinger is coming along nicely and really attacks the glass and hte paint and has a ncie post game but you can see where he is going to struggle against more athletic bigger players. Needs to be aggressive and get to the line though which he does.

That's why he needs to slim down and get lighter to get more quickness.
He isn't going to post up and back down against everyone, especially taller guys. He'll face up and shoot or take them off the dribble.
