2012 NBA Draft: Buckeye Jared Sullinger goes 21st to Boston Celtics

Jared Sullinger seemed to be paying a steep price for having some injuries as a sophomore. The Buckeyes star fell so far in a year that he wasn’t even invited to the draft because he wasn’t expected to go in the top 15.

Well Sullinger did end up outside of the top 15 as the Boston Celtics took the 6’9″ OSU star with the 21st pick in the draft. Buckeyes fans will certainly wish Sully well, but those that are also Cavs fans won’t wish him too well now that he will don the Celtic green.

    Big Baby part deux. Hope Garnett returns he’d be a perfect mentor for Melo but more importantly Boston will still need him.

    Wow. PJIII goes to OKC. I think they got a steal.

    Bad time to join the C’s…pretty sure they are about to blow it up and start a rebuild

    You could do worse than starting a rebuild with Rondo, Sully and Melo.

    Not a great chance of pulling it off, but they’ll make another run next year.

    Happy for Sully; hope he does well (but not too well) in Boston and has a long, healthy career.

  • Wow

    Clearly someone wants OKC-Miami in the Finals again. Wink wink.
