Jared Sullinger: How did we leave this behind?

14 and 8 on 7 for 8 shooting for Sully with 2 minutes left in the half. He would have helped make up for passing up on Faried.

 

same questions were raised why team past up dejuan blair

 

Was Blair projected to go in the top 5?

 

We would be left behind with the Vipers anyway

 

I watched almost every game he played at OSU. I about had a heart attack when we DIDNT draft him.

 

I'm getting tired of this assumption. If the Rockets drafted Lillard or Sullinger they would be getting minutes. Our rookies just aren't ready yet. It took Morris 1 year of playing in the D-League (and getting called a bust by Rockets fans) before the Rockets gave him minutes. The best players in practice get played. If they beat out their man they get minutes.

Where's T-Will?
Wher's V-Span now?
What about Thabeet?
Flynn, Smith, Dorsey, Wafer, Bonsu, Andersen?

 

these rookies are growing because they are getting PLAYING TIME . Mchale refuses to put our rookies in the lineup

 

Well, that, and Sully was a monster last year. Go back and watch his highlight tapes, he was an absolute MONSTER at tOSU. I cant understand why we didnt draft him. So what, we take a risk on a guy who was supposed the #1 pick the year before. If he didnt work out, who cares, how many late lottos turn out to be stars? But if he was OK, which it appears he is and plenty more, then you got a steal.

Ridiculous. It really is.

 

Some guys are more ready to play than other rookies.
What is his ceiling?

 

Are we going to admit we screwed up on the draft?

 

Jeremy Lin? Where is he?

 

we wouldn't be having this discussion if we had a PROTOCOL in place
hahaha

 

.... It's just Les never lets us be bad enough to get into the Top 8 of the draft
Couple of those players.... and I bet they would play because they would have more talent than those on the field.
After those bad years then you make a run for players like Harden, and draft lower players with high upside like Parsons

 

We chose to #bewell instead.

 

this argument again?

 

I bet the vipers would be undefeated with Jared.
Love his post moves and his rebounding.

 

I was begging the Rockets to draft Sullinger. I think he is going to be a tremendous center in the league for years. Great post moves.
