Celtics Summer League: Game 1 GreenLights

i wouldn’t go as far as saying he’ll be the steal of the draft. he definitely has upside. however, the rookies that get all the attention and accolades are the ones that get playing time. I don’t see Sullinger playing more than 10 minutes a game, especially when the C’s have depth at that position, unless someone gets hurt. 10 minutes a game won’t get you on any All Rookie Teams. Now that Stiemsma has one foot out the door, I can’t imagine the C’s haven’t pressed the issue with KG, about starting at center. If that’s the case, Sullinger might see some playing time at the 4 or the 5, depending on if the C’s decide to go small. Either way, i think the kid can contribute. Just remember, Doc hates playing rookies. He doesn’t trust them because he takes more mental toughness to play with veterans who expect to win every night, than it does physical toughness. Time will tell.
