Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Per @ESPNAndyKatz, Jared Sullinger wasn't invited to the NBA Green Room. NBA usually invites top 10-15 prospects.
Jared would have been in last year green room Man...that is harsh. If he came out last year more than likely he would have gotten the invite even with the condition being noticed because last year's draft was weaker then this year's.
I don't applaud the NBA offices much, they they deserve getting some recognition. With injury concerns, there is no telling how far a guy with height/athleticism concerns already will drop. It could be a long night for him.
I always think of guys dropping in the NFL Draft. There's always a QB or guy with character issues that drops but NBA drops are fun to watch as well.
It's more that they don't want to humiliate a guy stuck as last one in the green room when there's a risk he could fall all the way to the bottom of the first. It's a distraction they don't want to televise. He could still go as early as 6 and I doubt he's on the board at 15.
This will give more fuel to the One and Done(ers). Jared was being talked about as a possible #1 pick last year, and now wont even get invited to the green room...
no real news here, but: Jonathan Givony: Green Room Invites: Davis, Robinson, Beal, Kidd Gilchrist, Barnes, Lillard, Waiters, Lamb, Drummond, Rivers, Henson, Zeller, Leonard. 1 minute ago
Sullinger was a solid college player, but so was Sheldon Williams. They are very similar players who ultimately will share the same level of NBA achievement.
I'd have to respectully disagree. The Land Lord never came close to having the offensive game Sullinger has. I think the only similarity is that they are both unathletic.
