08:05 AM ET 04.05 | Jared Sullinger's draft stock may have slipped, but, in the eyes of many, it wouldn't be going higher by returning to Ohio State. The big question is, where will Sullinger be drafted this year? It would be a surprise if he goes in the top five, unless he blows teams away with personal workouts, which would be a surprise too, because Sullinger is what he is. What is he? A big body who used his positioning on the blocks very well. ... So what's the knock on Sullinger? He's a tweener. He is regarded as too short to play against NBA centers, but not quick and mobile enough to play the "4." The knock on him also is that, even though he is 6-foot-9, he plays beneath the rim. Not tall and not a leaper is a bad combination.

This with better post moves. The question will be is whether his post moves are quick enough at the next level. No doubt he needs to develop the 12-15 foot jumper but that can be said about a good chunk of 4's

Curry was a much better scorer.....and was big/tall enough to guard NBA centers.

Can you say Kevin Love. He has been working on his three point game because he understands he will need to be able to stretch the defense a little bit. He is a below the rim player with an excellent post game and great rebounding skills. Sounds a lot like Love coming out.
