    Wow, that Sullinger news is crazy. I wonder if this would have been picked up last year when he should have come out. A contender will be able to take a flier on him and get him for a steal.

    He was certainly a disappointment. Going into Kentucky he was a projected top-10 pick and now he'll likely go in the late 1st.

    Some sites say his ceiling is Tony Parker but I don't buy that. What Tony does exceptionally well, Teague is terrible at:

    Are there any players with Drummond's combination of size and athleticism ever been a bust? I can't think of any.

    Even against high schoolers, windmill slams done by a 280 lb. player is impressive.

    Last 3 posters are 0 for 4.

    So, no seems to be the answer.

    Oden was as big and as athletic and is a bust. Kwame was slightly lighter, but was about as athletic, and is a bust. Darko was a similar size and athlete and is a bust. Obryant wasn't as athletic i suppose.

    Just like the Kandi man, right?

    I think teams would still struggle, and would have to really want Drummond to take him over Robinson.

    I think fans would be going apeshit over Kandi if he were in this years draft just based on his combine measurements:

    6'11.75" w/o shoes
    7'8" wingspan
    35" max vertical leap

    Game changer! o0

    Oden may have been busted but he was not a bust. Darko is a good example though. Decent player, but just not worth taking over Melo. I would actually like to have Darko and his 5 million a year contract.

    You'd be offering up Aldridge and our next 4 1sts to trade up for him.
