    Sullinger stroking the jumper doesn't surprise me. He was nailing the 3 ball on a regular basis towards the end of the season.

    I have some video of them shooting when they let us in. I will post some of it when I can get it edited.

    You wouldn't want him with the 11th pick would you?

    I wouldn't be devastated. A year ago he was possibly a top 3 pick before he decided to stay. His criticisms pre-draft are the same one's that pundits had about Kevin Love.

    Good point. I think I would rather select Terrance Jones at 11 if he were available.

    I wouldn't have a problem if we selected Jones either, but I don't want it to have anything to do with the hometown angle.

    As a guy from Jeff, that was the guy, I'm sure he'd rather play elsewhere.

    Henson couldn't hit a jumper in that video to save his life.

    He's gonna' be the Zags of the draft! A lot of hype, but just doesn't bring it when we call on him!^

    You look at his advanced stats and they are really impressive:

    PER: 30.3 | 30.2
    TS%: 59% | 59%
    WS: 8.2 | 9.3

    And then you look at his atrocious combine numbers and very average height/length, I think he's going to struggle bigtime against NBA bigs with length.

    8'9.5" standing reach with a 11'4.5" max reach....

    Can't imagine POR picking Lillard over Barnes, Barnes is just a WAY better talent....

    Sorry the second link above was to the wrong video. Here is a second video of players shooting. This one has Terrence Jones on it.

    It'll be interesting if Jones can find a position -- SF or PF

    He has good PF size, if he can ever put it all together:

    6'9.5" | 252 lbs. | 7'2" wingspan | 8'11" reach

    I got the feeling that Sullinger didn't have the workout he wanted. This was his first one and he talked about feeling the jet-lag about halfway through. He also talked about how hard the coach were pushing them. Seems that may have not gone his way. He didn't say it just the impression I got.

    You should never blame your performance on how hard the coaches were pushing you. Just sayin'.

    What position would you play him at? IMO he'll never be a starting SF or PF because he's somewhere in between. Thaddeus Young comes to mind.

    I thought Young was 6'10" and skinny as hell. Jones is 6'8" and a beast! He's like 250 I thought. 2 totally different players FAMS! I think he could play the SF position. I know he can shoot and play great post D. He could get away playing 15 min of backup PF as well.
